In the winter of 1943, brilliant theoretical physicist Dr. Sarah Linden is recruited to the top secret Manhattan Project at Los Alamos. While verifying the equations that will usher in the Atomic Age, she uncovers a terrifying mathematical anomaly
Her calculations suggest that a nuclear detonation carries a hidden, far reaching consequence that the world's greatest minds have overlooked. It is a variable that connects our world to the vastness of the cosmos in a way that defies every known law of physics.
The Most Dangerous Secret on Earth
Dismissed by superiors who are blindly focused on military victory, Sarah tries to bury her dangerous findings. But as the relentless Cold War begins, the strategic value of her hidden equations is suddenly realized. She is no longer just a scientist; she is a liability holding a secret that could redefine humanity's place in the universe.
Hunted by ruthless counter intelligence agents and foreign shadows desperate to weaponize her theory, Sarah is forced to flee. Carrying only her fateful math, she is plunged into a deadly game of pursuit from the snowy streets of Chicago to the sweltering anonymity of the Pacific islands.
The Cost of the Fire
As the government prepares for a monstrous new atmospheric test, Sarah bears the agonizing burden of a lone watchman who knows the true price of the fire they are about to unleash. Blending the breathless pacing of an espionage thriller with the profound physics of hard science fiction, The Ursa Mirage is a devastating cautionary tale about human hubris and our tragic indifference to the universe.
D.J. Rivellore's debut novel is a breathtaking exploration of the empathy gap and the silent echoes we leave behind in the dark.
