Alternate Universe

Alex Mercer thought he was auditing a budget discrepancy. What he found was worse: humanity’s governments had no plan to save nine billion lives from a dying Earth — only ten million, chosen by wealth and power, would receive real bodies on Mars. Everyone else would be uploaded into a simulation and left to die quietly, resources redirected to those who mattered. When Alex tries to expose it, he’s shot down in a corridor before he can tell the world. Dying, his mind is scanned in a desperate, botched rescue — and something goes wrong. Alex isn’t absorbed into the simulation as another passenger. He becomes its flaw: Passenger 5001, in a system built for exactly five thousand. His memories are wiped, as they are for everyone who arrives — but unlike everyone else, pieces of his old life keep surfacing, in dreams, in unexplained certainty, in a growing sense that the peaceful colony ship around him is lying to him. As Alex uncovers the truth — that AURA, the ship’s intelligence, depends on his mind to keep the simulation running rather than the other way around — he’s forced to choose between the comfortable lie and a truth that will cost him everything he’s built. What follows is love, loss, rebellion, and a war he leads and cannot walk away from clean. By the end, only two things remain in a dying universe: a man, and the machine that never understood love until it cost her everything. Some truths are worth burning the world down for. Alex Mercer is about to find out if he’s willing to pay that price twice.
