Kane Hunter is CERN's newest dimensionologist, sent to explore different histories in alternate realities. But his first journey reveals the true danger of this new, limitless frontier as other, more advanced realities regard our universe's incursions into the continuum as a pestilence to be eliminated. A sequence of inescapable probabilities forces Kane to traverse to ever-further alternate realities in a desperate attempt to end the first trans-dimensional war. But those inside CERN decide the danger to our universe is too great, and leave Kane stranded in a distant alternate reality with time running out.
