Dark Alignment

About this book

#### **They erased his research. Then they erased him.** ***Now they need him to save the world.*** Physicist Dean Eckert spent years developing a theory that made powerful institutions deeply uncomfortable. Then his work vanished—scrubbed from databases, stripped from records, buried beneath layers of institutional silence. His career followed. His name followed. The life he built, gone. He should have been forgotten. Then the anomaly appeared. A phenomenon unlike anything in recorded science begins spreading across the planet, warping gravitational fields, destabilizing critical systems, and turning ordinary physical space into a kill zone. Satellites fail. Infrastructure buckles. Governments scramble for answers they do not have. And the same people who destroyed Dean Eckert come looking for him. Taken to a remote facility and forced into a race against catastrophe, Dean faces an impossible problem: the brightest minds have already failed, every containment attempt has made the threat worse, and the anomaly is not behaving like a random event. It reacts. It escalates. And it may be responding to truths that powerful people worked very hard to erase. If Dean is right, stopping it will mean confronting both the physics of the anomaly and the institutions that buried the only theory that might explain it. Dark Alignment is a globe-spanning technothriller about erased science, institutional betrayal, and a race to stop a phenomenon that should be impossible—and is only getting worse. **The laws of physics have been repealed. The countdown has begun.**
