Constants

Every 18 minutes and 32 seconds, Marcus Robson wakes in a new reality.

A cartoon home. A collapsing city. A living museum where art speaks from across the centuries. Nothing seems impossible. The only clues that might lead him home to Lya, his pregnant wife, are the people, objects, and events that reappear across worlds—what he calls his CONSTANTS.

But every version of Lya he finds is a stranger. Earthquakes are getting more frequent. And whispers suggest someone else may be trapped in the same impossible cycle. As patterns emerge, Mark finds clues in a past he had hoped would stay buried. But will they lead him home—or reveal why he can never return?

Told in real time, with each chapter unfolding in a different world over exactly 18 minutes and 32 seconds, CONSTANTS is literary science fiction that explores death, consciousness, religion and humanity's search for meaning across the farthest reaches of our collective imagination.
