The NonLocal Horizon
The miracle that saved humanity might destroy it.
The Great Squeeze has brought civilization to its knees. Oil wells run dry. Power grids fail. People freeze in the dark. Then physicist Dr. Benjamin Carter unveils the impossible: a way to transmit unlimited energy instantaneously across any distance. No wires. No loss. No delay.
The world transforms overnight. Cities blaze with light. Mars becomes reachable in weeks. Corporations race to control the orbital highways. Nations crumble and rise.
But Carter has seen something in the data that terrifies him. Timestamps that don't add up. Energy arriving before it's sent. A presence watching from angles that shouldn't exist. The universe, it seems, keeps meticulous accounts-and humanity has been borrowing against a debt it doesn't understand.
As the network expands, the anomalies multiply. A Saudi engineer rebuilding his life in the orbital stations. A teleoperator on Mars witnessing machines move before receiving commands. A union worker in Detroit fighting for scraps of the old economy. An IEA director holding together a world spinning out of control. Their fates converge as the impossible becomes undeniable: reality itself is beginning to fray.
Some debts can be deferred. Some can be forgiven. But when you borrow from the fabric of spacetime, the bill always comes due.
The NonLocal Horizon is an epic hard science fiction novel spanning Earth, Mars, and the orbital colonies of a transformed solar system-a story about the price of miracles and what it means to earn the future.
