A man focused on discovering FTL travel. A team of scientists discovering world changing technology. A country desperate for the theories he discovers, and a devious adversary bent on stealing secrets.
In the near future, a scientist infatuated with the idea of creating a faster than light vehicle builds a small team to try to do the impossible. Funded by his dead father's unsavory money, and enticing a collection of oddball geniuses to join his dream, the man works towards not one, but two ground breaking technologies that could change the world as we know it. That is, if he and his team can survive the dangerous waters of international politics and state-sponsored terror that would steal his work and put his team in the ground.

Galina sat there in stunned silence, her water forgotten in her hands. Her only thought was, this man is nuts! But she couldn’t quite find the immediate defense she needed to disprove him. She knew he was brilliant; she’d read his papers and research. In theory the math proved it did work (sort of), but everyone knew that faster-than-light travel was a pipe dream … right? It was intriguing, though. Causality problems aside, she now realized why he had chosen her. She’d been part of the team at CERN that had recently mathematically proven the highly improbable existence of negative-energy exotic particles and how to generate them—theoretically, at least.
