Cass, a brilliant physicist, travels to the remote Mimosa Station to test a revolutionary theory that could redefine the origins of the universe. Her experiment creates a novo-vacuum, predicted to decay instantly, but instead, it begins an inexorable expansion, threatening to consume everything. As the novo-vacuum grows, Cass and her colleagues must race against time to understand and stop this cosmic catastrophe. The novel explores themes of scientific discovery, the consequences of ambition, and the fragility of existence in a vast and unpredictable universe.
