The Missouri Fold

By Aaron Gordon

The Philadelphia Experiment didn't fail-it opened a door.I

n 1943, the U.S. military attempts to bypass years of bloody warfare in the Pacific using non-terrestrial technology recovered from a highly classified crash in Missouri. Their goal is to weaponize the USS Montana, a colossal 57,000-ton, 921-foot super-battleship armed with twelve 16-inch guns, and fold space to drop it directly into the warzone. But the experimental "Missouri Drive" doesn't just bend space; it tears reality apart, plunging the massive ship into an infinite, non-Euclidean dimension.Now, the Montana is stranded in the "Architect's Void," a terrifying realm with a bruised ultraviolet sky and a churning ocean of dead, gray ash. Cut off from Earth, pragmatic Captain Malcolm Pierce and brilliant civilian scientist Dr. Mags Ellis must rally their skeleton crew against an impossible cosmic threat. Skyscraper-sized, eldritch Leviathans known as the "Builders" are waking in the ash sea, drawn to the battleship's massive energy signature.The crew's only guide is Arthur Keane, the ship's brilliant engineer who sacrificed his physical body to prevent the dimensional tear from consuming Earth. Arthur now exists as a ghostly "sum of probabilities" within the ship's phase-grid, alongside Sarah, a mysterious alien hybrid child. As a deadly mutiny brews under the ambitious and maddened Colonel Wilson, the crew must fight a claustrophobic battle for survival. Firing their massive artillery into the shifting geometry of Lovecraftian gods, Pierce and Mags realize a horrifying truth: there is no return trajectory, and if the Montana jumps home, the monsters will ride its wake back to our world.

Perfect for fans of military science fiction, alternate history WWII, and Lovecraftian cosmic horror,
The Missouri Fold delivers a mind-bending, explosive survival-horror thriller.
