Kaia has won the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to intern at the Globe Center under the tutelage of John, one of the most brilliant scientists and mathematicians in the world. But the moment she sets foot inside the building, she realizes it won't be easy. John has his fingers in nearly every project, and plans to drag her along with him.
To top off her first day, a group of thieves infiltrates the building, seeking to steal a specific Door—a portal that can travel somewhere else in the universe—and John, Kaia, and Clyde, the newest security officer at the Globe, end up smack dab in the middle of the chaos.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the universe, Holland, Admiral of a Zirian colony fleet traveling to a newly discovered planet, has just woken up from stasis to discover that her brother is dead, as are many of the colonists who were traveling with her, and her fleet is infected by a very odd digital virus.
Somehow, Holland has to get her fleet back on track, while at the same time, Kaia and John have to manage the chaos back home.
And the consequences of failure could mean the end of Holland's fleet, and possibly the end of their entire civilization.
This portal fiction novel is the third in the Zirian Chronicles series. Content warnings can be found on the copyright page.
