Fleeing Oblivion
A Journey to Haven

When Earth dies, humanity gets one last roll of the dice.

Major Diego Martinez has forty-two years of military service and a family he can't protect. The American-Pacific Union's AI-controlled exodus program has rejected his daughter and grandchildren-their "efficiency scores" don't qualify them for salvation among the stars. While billions fight over Earth's last drops of clean water, the algorithms have already decided who lives and who dies.

But Diego knows someone who plays by different rules.

The Crucible Project was supposed to be humanity's backup plan-an interdimensional gateway to a pristine world called Haven. When government funding dried up, brilliant physicist Dr. Olivia Smith and a handful of forgotten scientists kept the portal alive with black market resources and sheer determination. Now they're offering something the exodus ships can't: a chance for the "unworthy" to build something better.

In this gritty tale of survival and second chances, Diego must choose between following orders and saving his family. Alongside a team of military rejects, rogue scientists, and Luna-a hacker with more attitude than common sense-he'll tear holes between dimensions, dodge AI surveillance, and fight for humanity's future one desperate evacuation at a time.

But Haven holds its own secrets, and paradise might come with teeth.
