Grayson Maddox has lived two lives—and one of them is about to kill him.

Once a Tier 1 operator, he’s now a particle physicist leading a classified DARPA project at Oak Ridge. His team has achieved the impossible: tunneling neutrons into a decoupled quantum domain.

They call it RIFT.

Then the sabotage begins.

An outage cripples his lab. An intruder targets his assistant. A bomb detonates outside a DARPA briefing he just left.

Someone knows what Maddox has unlocked—and is moving with lethal precision to stop it.

On the run, Maddox turns to former teammates. But even CIA safe houses aren’t secure. There’s a leak, and two rival factions are closing in: one wants RIFT, the other wants it erased—along with Maddox.

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

It will be reality itself.
