What if saving one world means creating - and destroying - a dozen others?

A distress call from his alternate self summons Peter Burdell to a parallel Earth ravaged by a nanotech plague that turns ordinary people into relentless undead zombies. Stranded by an unexpected betrayal, Peter has to do the unthinkable: shattering the multiverse to end the plague and find a way home.

Now Pete and his alternate selves each have a piece of the puzzle and must work together and find a solution to end the threat to humanity all across the multiverse. Can Pete turn the tables on his betrayer and escape with the answer? And how will the Multiverse Coordination Committee react when they discover Pete has violated their Prime Directive: Never Split a Timeline!

Part high-concept science fiction, part multiverse technothriller, Split Decision is a story of risk and redemption, and the personal cost of doing what's necessary, even when it shatters the multiverse.
