The space between worlds holds the truth, and a deadly threat...

Three years ago, a faulty grad project melted Jo's career prospects. Literally. Corroding metal and acid seeped into the auditorium floor, dissolving both her dreams and her professor's shoes.

But now, the death of a renowned inventor offers a second chance to prove herself: find his missing research and have a whole multiverse of employers to pick from.

The snag is, the dead inventor helped pioneer interdimensional travel. And instead of finding a benign stack of papers, Jo stumbles upon something sinister-a charged radiation cloud that threatens to fry every electrical system and bystander in its path.

The inventor's missing research could be the key to stopping this catastrophic threat...or its cause. As Jo jumps between worlds chasing leads, the crackling cloud advances toward the interworld transport hub. If she fails to stop it, she'll never see a job offer-or anyone she knows-ever again.
