Through the Looking Disk
ByPublisher Description
When Dr. Pemberton and his team tear a hole through reality, they expect to glimpse distant stars—or nothing at all. Instead, they find a desolate version of Earth, eerily similar yet catastrophically different. In a parallel London, Frank and his family struggle to survive amid the collapse of society, where hunger and desperation threaten to strip humanity of its last shreds of decency.
As two worlds collide through an impossible portal a fragile alliance forms. Frank's family clings to the hope of supplies and salvation, while Dr. Pemberton searches for answers to prevent their reality from sharing the same grim fate. But survival comes at a cost—secrets are withheld, trust is tested, and danger lurks not only on Frank's side of the disk but in the decisions made on the other.
Through the Looking Disk is a gripping blend of speculative science fiction and raw, human drama. It explores the resilience of the human spirit, the morality of survival, and the haunting question: What would you do if the end of the world wasn't just a possibility—but someone else's reality?
For fans of The Road and Dark Matter, this novel is a thought-provoking journey through despair, hope, and the thin line between them.
