Dr. Elias Baird doesn’t believe in death—only transition. Through a brutal, repeatable process, he’s found a way to cross into the HUB by tethering himself to a dying mind at the exact moment it shuts down. Each trip gives him access to something impossible: fragments of knowledge with no origin, no structure, and no clear purpose. He’s done it twenty-one times. It still isn’t enough. Baird is trying to solve a single problem—how to cross without needing someone else to die. But the more he experiments, the less predictable the process becomes. The HUB isn’t just a place. And whatever Baird is doing to reach it may be changing more than he realizes.
