Chronosphere
A.S. Howe (2014). Chronosphere. Science Fiction novel. ISBN 13-978-0985076559. Amazon.com.
On colonized Mars, engineer Tom Hildebrandt’s ordinary war with Murphy’s Law collides with a colony-wide catastrophe and a machine that can open a window through spacetime. As friends and family help fire up the Hyperaperture, shortcuts through years—and through danger—force a choice between sealing the unknown and building a future that depends on it. Chronosphere is a hard science-fiction adventure by A. Scott Howe.
Back cover
Mars is settled—cities bored into rock, factories humming, kids learning Japanese honorifics in red-dust corridors. Then Novissima dies in a hazard no suit can explain, and the Grindavik colony’s boldest experiment comes online: the Hyperaperture, designed to hold a stable gate into another universe.
Tom Hildebrandt only wanted to keep Hildebrandt Engineering ahead of Murphy’s Law—nano-labs, hoverpallets, and the beautiful equipment operator who keeps stealing his focus. Instead he and a circle of engineers, pilots, and physicists are pulled into wormholes, causal puzzles, and a fragile web of linked times that someone else already knows how to use.
Warm, witty, and built from real engineering instinct, Chronosphere is A. Scott Howe’s hard-SF adventure about what happens when the future calls collect—and expects you to build the line that answers.
