The Attractor: Book 1: The Arrival

By Villeneuve Alain and Alain Villeneuve

Miss the best sci-fi series of the 20th century? Want to read something creative and different? This story is built around the dramatic and unforgettable end of the multiverse as it folds-possibly ending all life. The six books, spanning 1,400 pages, transport you from the solar system to five adjacent dimensions of pure energy. In honor of his favorites, Feynman, Hawking, Sagan, and DeGrasse, the author, an aerospace engineer, unveils a unique cast of characters who discuss higher-dimensional physics, intricate mathematics, and relative time dynamics. A young 12-year-old antihero provides a unique perspective on learning challenging, novel science.THE ATTRACTOR As the fabric of space-time begins to change during the summer of 2072, probabilities and a bias favoring life increase until a rare self-defense mechanism of the Multiverse unfolds: the 6th Attraction. The multiverse can self-immolate the way a limb must be severed to avoid the spread of gangrene. This time the cancer lies on Mars, on November 21, 2072. This rare Attraction, like a bipolar magnet, forces a living human pole, an Attractor to crystallize. It is given great power but sits at the center of the pain as an observer.Books 1-2: Sophie, a brave young daughter from Michigan, lands on Mars along with the 128 finalists of a strange virtual-reality game. These first tourists arrive for the inaugural day of the hosting hotel on the red planet. Having signed her disabled father up for the game, the pair lands a month before the Attraction of 2072. She is chosen as the Attractor, and reality and science start to bend around her. The first evolved artificial intelligence, a lab-grown digital life, broadcasts from Mars the final eight rounds of her competition. We introduce the cast of a dozen incredible characters and the unique futuristic setting. The first part of the story highlights the beauty and complexity of this unique adventure.Books 3-4: In Earth's dimension, also known as the Cold, serves as the outer connecting layer of the Multiverse and is the only one that contains physical matter. A diverging power hijacks the Nexus, a fragile portal of communication between realities. Learn how the Multiverse creates and balances life as young Sophie discovers her powers as Attractor. She violates the laws of impermeability and pairs with a new friend in the Lower. In this grey world, where few powerful creatures exist, the ancient life known as Oldest lies dormant and is ready to mentor the Attractor in achieving greater science and wisdom. Meanwhile on Earth, humanity is rushed, thanks to the game system, to first contact with alien life in its own solar system and shown the real origin of the inner planets in the system. The books illustrate the complexity of the world and life from a much higher perspective.Books 5-6: Helped by the AI, now holding god-like powers in her game and over the Cold, humans finally begin to understand why the Multiverse is dying. Sophie learns multi-dimensional physics from her mentor and her travels as she slowly walks to the finale of the Electoral 2072 election system. The Attractor must understand the Multiverse, the cause of the Attraction, and, more importantly, whether her role is to be a protector of life or merely a custodian of power with enough restraint to allow the Multiverse to end. The fabric of space changes in incredible ways as the singularity approaches. Every known law of science is tested as Sophie-helped by the AI and the finalists-tries to identify a solution to a puzzle with no visible solution.
