About this title

Synopsis

Three versions of the same man.

Three parallel universes are about to go through it...

Universe 351282-Alpha: Brian Rossi, a Navy SEAL Commander

Universe 351282-Sigma: Brian Rossi, a Major League All-Star pitcher

Universe 351282-Theta: Brian Rossi, a cybersecurity specialist

Three lives in three worlds. None know the others exist.

Then a strange presence whispers the same words into each of their minds:

SUITABLE CANDIDATE FOUND.

INITIATING INDUCTION PROTOCOL.

Each version of Rossi awakens inside a different storm: one of battle, one of pressure, another of data.

Each discovers a System rewriting their reality, offering power... and demanding progress.

But the System's goal isn't power or progress.

It's preparation.

They are hunted across their planets by relentless enemies that attack always in threes.

Each version of Rossi must grow stronger if they are to have any hope of fighting back.

SURVIVE. ADAPT. OVERCOME.
