When Ken Clements ends up in an accidental crash that triggers his eruption, he is plagued by fear and doubt as the changes to his body feel unfamiliar and alien. News of Ken’s eruption becomes a talking point for anti-nova pundit Jordan McDevitt, while doctors at the Rashoud Center try to steer Ken toward signing up with Project Utopia to use his powers for the good of humanity.
As external pressures mount and internal fears fester, Ken meets Tempus, a follower of Teras —the philosophy of the Teragen — who approaches Ken to offer him aid and advice. Chaos envelopes his life, and Ken faces hard choices about philosophy, loyalty, and his place in the world.
A novella set in the Trinity Continuum: Aberrant universe.
