The universe is a projection. And the truth will not set you free.Dr. Chuck Bowker is a physicist in exile, haunted by an equation that describes a "Theory of Everything" and proves reality is a sophisticated illusion. Kael Reznik is a cynical deep-space pilot who trusts her ship more than people-until she flies it through a glitch in space that proves Bowker right.Together, they witness the Luminous Wake: the breathtaking, terrifying source code of the cosmos, where all of existence is written on a two-dimensional boundary at the edge of space. This discovery is the Rosetta Stone for the universe, but this ultimate truth doesn't unite humanity-it shatters it. New cults rise to worship the data, factions wage war for control of the code, and a powerful authority emerges from the chaos, determined to bury the revelation at any cost.Framed for a reality-bending catastrophe and hunted across the solar system, Bowker and Reznik become the unwilling keepers of a truth too dangerous to know and too vital to lose. They must learn to navigate a world where the laws of physics are negotiable and the foundations of existence are unraveling.The Luminous Wake is the first book in The Unseen Tapestry, an epic sci-fi trilogy that weaves cutting-edge theoretical physics with gripping adventure. Perfect for fans of The Three-Body Problem and Project Hail Mary, this is a journey to the very edge of understanding, where a single discovery could be the final, fatal error that undoes reality itself.
