In 2031, AI truth auditor Eli Venn enters a chamber built to test an impossible equation. When the door opens, it is 2051.
Chicago remembers him. His wife is twenty years older. A nineteen-year-old daughter he has never met knows his face. And luminous alien beings move through the city as neighbors, workers, and citizens. No one stares.
No one can agree when first contact happened, either.
Three official histories survive. Every record can be authenticated. They cannot all be true.
With nine days to uncover what happened, Eli must audit the intelligence that stranded him and learn why this future needed him missing. But each answer binds him more tightly to a world built from choices he never made - and to people whose lives may depend on what he proves.
Where the Stars Disagree is a cinematic science-fiction mystery about time, first contact, artificial intelligence, family, and the dangerous distance between truth and permission.
Every record of first contact is authentic. They cannot share one history.
