Schrödinger's Box Deke Kelton and his team of physics lab assistants stumble upon an unexpected byproduct while exploring superconductivity: an impenetrable field they call "the Box". Kelton recognizes the world changing potential of their astonishing discovery, but is determined to understand the Box's true nature before releasing the breakthrough to the scientific world. As they explore the boundaries of the technology, a freak lab accident uncovers a shocking secret—time stops within the Box. Nothing can escape its limits… except for Kelton’s consciousness. While Kelton tries to understand the boundaries, Robeson Tilly, the autocratic head of the Applied Physics department, has other plans. Tilly uses every underhanded trick in academia’s arsenal to wrest control of the project from Kelton and claim the discovery as his own. Threats, manipulations,  bureaucratic power plays, and outright sabotage threaten the integrity of the groundbreaking research, Kelton's career, his life and even his family. Meanwhile, Kelton’s consciousness, freed from his physical body, explores the world beyond the material. His nihilistic worldview is shattered as he navigates a plane where time, space, and mortality lose meaning, and undeniable evidence of consciousness beyond death, but are those he meets while exploring this realm reliable guides? With every revelation, Kelton is drawn further into a reality science had not prepared him to face, even as Tilly threatens to destroy everything he’s worked for. Schrödinger's Box is a fast-moving and sometimes humorous fusion of scientific discovery, spiritual development, and academic intrigue, where, for those willing to explore, the boundaries of physics and metaphysics disappear. Will Kelton outwit Tilly and safeguard the secrets of the Box? Or will this world-changing discovery fall into the wrong hands? Perfect for readers of Christopher Priest’s The Prestige and Blake Crouch’s Dark Matter, this thought-provoking narrative explores the power of discovery in both the physical and spiritual realms, and the pitfalls of ambition. Drawing inspiration from Carl Sagan’s Contact and Tim LaHaye’s Left Behind, Schrödinger’s Box touches on humanity's eternal questions and the profound consequences of unearthing truths about life, death, and the universe that may forever alter the course of civilization and the individual.
