He tells himself it's for science. Really, it's\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e for Christina Hamilton-brilliant, capricious, doomed to die in timeline after timeline no matter what he does to save her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Each jump leaves behind a universe that begins to collapse at the quantum level, reality unravelling as the fundamental constants of physics decay. Ten billion lives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e are erased every time he pulls the trigger. But Jakob keeps jumping, because somewhere in the infinite parallels there must exist a world where she doesn't die of an\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e aneurysm at thirty-one, doesn't board the plane that crashes, doesn't simply stop loving him for reasons that make perfect sense to everyone but him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e What he discovers is worse than her death: the universe seems hardcoded against them. Their separation repeats across realities like a cosmic constant, as immutable\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e as the speed of light. Every timeline offers a new variation on the same theme-love, loss, the inevitable ending.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This is a philosophical horror novel dressed as a romance, a recursive tragedy where one man treats infinite realities as rough drafts he can discard. As the body\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e count climbs into the trillions, the question becomes not whether Jakob will find the perfect timeline, but whether destroying universes for love is more or less\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e insane than simply accepting grief.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e A literary thriller about obsession, quantum physics, and the terrible mathematics of letting go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 718\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47509678096633,"sku":"9798218853839","price":48.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/OH1QaUUW9m9798218853839_3a239463-e3f5-432f-b315-de26dd759685.webp?v=1773378127","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/false-vacuum-hardcover-22","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
