Daryle Chantree can no longer trust reality.
Ever since altering history to save his friends, he catches glimpses of events before they happen. Futures overlap. Choices echo backward through time. Reality itself seems to be losing its boundaries. And when he is imprisoned for what he has become, escape seems like the only option.
His unlikely ally? Nikola Tesla.
Together, they steal a time ship and journey to Jupiter, where an ancient alien race known as the Dhyda faces a crisis that could determine humanity's future. Their prophecy speaks of a human who will someday unite their people in perfect Unity. If humanity cannot prove it possesses that potential, the mysterious Pryn may isolate Earth from the wider cosmos forever.
The tests are unlike anything Daryle has faced. Deep within Jupiter's Great Red Spot, the Pryn force him and his companions through a series of impossible trials where consciousness shapes reality, empathy becomes a measurable force, and every attempt to seize control only makes matters worse. As friends die, return, and confront alternate versions of themselves, Daryle begins to suspect a terrifying truth:
Reality may not be built from matter at all. It may be built from choice.
To save his team, protect humanity, and prevent cosmic isolation, Daryle must learn the one lesson no military training ever taught him-that survival is not about acting alone. It is about connection.
From the author of Fire and Forget, Holding on for Life, Orphans of Fire, Quantum Tempest, and Never for Ever comes the most ambitious adventure yet-a mind-bending blend of time travel, first contact, and cosmic mystery.
Perfect for fans of The Expanse, Interstellar, Project Hail Mary, and Battlestar Galactica, Crimson Abyss combines hard science, cosmic wonder, unforgettable aliens, and epic adventure in a story that asks a profound question: What if empathy is the most powerful force in the universe?
Crimson Abyss is the sixth novel in this series. While it continues Daryle's journey as an explorer of the unknown, each novel stands on its own and can be enjoyed independently.
