Early Reviewers

DARPA proved the impossible. 


The experiment succeeded. That was the problem.

Former Tier 1 operator Grayson Maddox now leads a classified physics project at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. His team has breached the known boundaries of physics.



They call it RIFT.



It’s a discovery on par with the splitting of the atom: a gateway to vast resources and consequences no one fully understands. Like fission, this breakthrough could reshape the future—or weaponize it.



Then the sabotage begins.



A mysterious outage cripples his lab. An armed intruder targets his assistant, Mari. A bomb detonates outside a DARPA briefing he just left. Someone knows exactly what Maddox has unlocked, and they’re moving with lethal precision to stop it.



On the run, Maddox turns to the only people he trusts: his former Unit teammates. But even CIA safe houses aren’t safe. Somewhere, there’s a leak, and two rival factions are closing in. One wants to harness RIFT. The other wants it erased—and Maddox along with it.



To stay alive, Maddox must become the operator he thought he’d left behind.

Because if RIFT falls into the wrong hands, the next battlefield won’t be a country.



It will be reality itself.
