The year is 2025. Levan Lamarr, a former Marine, is dying of cancer. His wife, Mira, is pregnant and due to deliver their first child in a week. A mysterious scientist named Jonah Salter contacts the Lamarrs and claims he may have a cure for Levan's cancer. The scientist's device, the "Entangler, can, in theory, restore the patient's health. With the help of Bheem, Salter's trusty Artificial Intelligence, Levan undergoes the procedure.
During the healing procedure, the device creates a Quantum Entanglement between two of Levan's bodies, each of which exists in a separate universe. Both bodies share a single consciousness. This entanglement is expected to last a few days.
Levan, who is now cured, perceives both universes superimposed. The two universes are identical until Dr. Salter creates a divergence. But a series of unexpected events follow and things go horribly wrong.

Some Reviews (Goodreads.com):
"Fans of cerebral sci-fi should appreciate the extent to which the author follows his inventive premise into weirder and weirder territory."--Kirkus Reviews
"I would recommend this book to not just hard science fiction fans but also to those interested in visions of the future."--Lee Balki
"In terms of an imaginative scientific background, this is superb...this is a book that has been written from the heart... if you want something with more substance, this is well worth considering...I have not seen very many books quite so complex... this is quite an achievement..."--Ian Miller (author of the science fiction novel, A Face on Cydonia)
"The premise of the novel is very original, and complex scientific concepts are beautifully intertwined with a simple, yet moving story."--Kaisa
"...a very engaging read...impressed in the research that has gone into a book such as this..."--SMenon
