Description

Violet Mosala is close to solving the greatest problem of her career - the quest for the ultimate Theory of Everything (TOE). But as she records the abuses of biotech, she's burned out and in need of a change. Andrew Worth sees an opportunity to follow Violet's story and joins her on the utopian island of Stateless. The world of theoretical physics seems like a cool and abstract mathematical haven, but things are not as they seem. One by one, Mosala's rival quantum physicists are disappearing from the scientific summit at Stateless. The reason for their disappearance is unclear, but it may be connected to Violet herself or something more esoteric. As tensions rise, Violet's quest for the Theory of Everything becomes increasingly complicated and threatening.
