What if, instead of expanding, our universe is collapsing, contracting upon itself like a giant, ravenous black hole? What if the Big Bang had not been a “bang” but rather a breaking moment - a reset, a restart, a “reboot”?
What if this eternal cycle of creation and negation never ends? But what if it could come to an end?
From the war-ridden planet of Ingor Five, Sean Starling, a member of a rare species of Immortals, has lived thousands of lives. Sean is destined (or doomed) to live thousands more. Like the other Immortals, Sean believes he is facing this fate alone.
But there are other Immortals out there, scattered across the universe, kindred souls like Sean who have seen everything and everyone they know and love die only to come back to life, again and again and again…
Sean and his kind cannot die. They do not “reboot” along with the rest of the universe.
The only escape for Sean is suicide. But even that will not absolve Sean from the bitch of eternal life.
Sean has had enough. He wants out.
