Replica Paradox

A Sci-Fi Thriller About Quantum Travel and Reality Unraveling

They made it home. But it isn’t their Earth anymore.

After a harrowing mission to the Trappist-1 system, Mark Noble and his enhanced crew return using the new spolding drive—a prototype engine that folds space to enable near-instant travel between stars. But something’s wrong. The satellites are missing. The space station is gone. And the world below looks. untouched.

As the truth sinks in, one terrifying possibility emerges: the spolding drive didn’t just bring them home. It brought them somewhere else. Now stranded in a parallel reality—with no way to call for help—the crew must retrace their path across the stars, hoping to undo what they’ve done before they’re lost forever.

The drive that saved them may have broken reality itself.

Replica Paradox is a mind-bending installment in the Mark Noble: Edge of the Void series—perfect for fans of Clarke, Heinlein, and the reality-warping tension of Live Die Repeat.


Publisher’s note: Replica Paradox was previously published as The Spolding Conundrum.
