Infinity Gate.
Orbit. 2023

Infinity is only the beginning

The Pandominion: a political and trading alliance of a million worlds – except that they’re really just the one world, Earth, in many different realities. And when an AI threat arises that could destroy everything the Pandominion has built, they’ll eradicate it by whatever means necessary, no matter the cost to human life.

Scientist Hadiz Tambuwal is looking for a solution to her own Earth’s environmental collapse when she stumbles across the secret of inter-dimensional travel. It could save everyone on her dying planet, but now she’s walked into the middle of a war on a scale she never dreamed of. And she needs to choose a side before it kills her.

Echo of Worlds.
Orbit. 2024

Two mighty empires are at war – and both will lose, with thousands of planets falling to the extinction event called the Scour. At least that’s what the artificial intelligence known as Rupshe believes. But somewhere in the multiverse there exists aforce – the Mother Mass – that could end the war in an instant, and Rupshe has assembled a team to find it. But is it too late? Because the Pandominion’s doomsday machines are about to be unleashed and not even their builders know how to control them.
