“If you can sense the alternate realities you create every time you act, or omit to act, then I offer you a challenge: pit your imagination against my reality.”

Lucas Hunter has the best job in the universe: exploring and investigating alternate realities. He works at the cutting edge of the temporal archaeology carried out by the Second Internet Café - the world’s most advanced scientific research facility. Here, scientists have unlocked the ultimate secret: time travel is possible, to all histories except our own. But other nations are jealous of Europe’s scientific achievements, and plot to shut down the Second Internet Café.

After years of preparation, Lucas finally qualifies as a dimension researcher. But from his first jump to an alternate reality, he realises something is wrong. A strange American is chasing Lucas across the continuum; from Soviet Warsaw in 1944, to Muslim-dominated Europe in 1911, and on to Nazi-controlled England in 1967. Lucas soon understands that his superiors have betrayed him, and that the impossible has happened: a time paradox has been created.

As the Second Internet Café’s enemies in our universe bring their plan to fruition, Lucas must struggle to understand a miasma of lies and half-truths, to try to avert the world’s first trans-dimensional war.
