Rudolph “Rudy” Dersch is the newly minted CEO of the world’s largest, multi-trillion-dollar corporate conglomerate. But the job comes with an unexpected twist – an invitation to join the Consortium, a small, secretive group of global elites who effectively decide what’s best for the rest of humanity. How does Rudy’s struggle to reconcile business and family impact the world’s future? And who, if anyone, can break the Consortium’s iron grip on the status quo?
The answer may lie with a renegade physicist, close to unraveling one of the universe’s greatest mysteries. And a headstrong art curator, driven to find the meaning behind her increasingly compelling visions. From a life-changing moment in a crowded Singapore marketplace, to the business end of an assassin’s gun, they face a power beyond any the world has ever seen. To survive, they’ll have to decipher the truth about dark matter – before the Consortium can achieve its ruinous end game.

The lead character of the super-rich story line is played by Rudy, the new CEO of the world’s largest conglomerate. But his…
Another good sci-fi book that lacks an ending I liked this book, and I’ll say more about that in a moment. First, I have to get a big negative out of the way. The book introduces a number of plot lines and gradually begins to weave them together in some promising ways, and then it just stops. No ending. No resolutions. No answers. Just a single line of foreshadowing and then… nothing.Â
