Every choice you never made is a life someone else is living.
Dr. Nate Silverman is about to meet them all.
You have wondered about it. Everyone has. The road not taken. The
job declined, the city left, the person you didn't call back. What if
those choices didn't disappear - what if they branched? What if
somewhere in the fabric of reality, every version of you is still out
there, living the life you didn't choose?
Nate Silverman always thought that was philosophy. Then his
colleague Dr. Jacob Newton switched on LEMON, and it became
his problem.
Pulled without warning through the dimensional membranes that
modern physics calls branes, Nate finds himself careering
through alternate versions of his own life - each one shaped by a
choice he made, or failed to make. Alongside him is Kate, his
graduate student, who had absolutely no intention of being part of
any of this, and who is now just as lost as he is.
The science is real.
String theory and the mathematics of multiple universes predict
exactly this: parallel dimensions separated by membranes thinner
than thought, diverging endlessly with every decision made by every
conscious mind. Nate built his career on that physics. He just never
expected to need it this badly.
...Nate and Kate chase the thread back to their own reality while
the dimensions multiply around them. Every wrong turn is another
life. Every delay risks another divergence.
And the closer they get to home, the harder it becomes to ignore
the question the multiverse keeps asking:
Is the life you came from the one you actually want?

stood at a crossroads and felt the weight of the road not taken.
Grounded in the cutting-edge science of string theory and
dimensional membranes. Driven by the oldest human question there is.
