Chapter One
Hacking the Universe
October 31st wasn’t just Halloween, for some scientists it was also officially known asDark Matter Day. As Professor Mason would find out, choosing to open The Darkway that night in his Cambridge lab would unleash a series of strange events that would have unexpected consequences. But first, he had to work out where the hell he was and who was holding him captive.
Chapter Two
Made in China
We journey through the memories of Professor Mason, from the world’s largest warehouse in Shanghai to the salt flats of Death Valley and discover that there is more to The Darkway than meets the eye.
His daughter seems to be the key to everything but nobody knows where she is. The race is on to find her and the clues are few.
Chapter Three
About Time
Back in Cambridge, everyone wants to get their hands on the Professor. But he has only one goal in mind – get back to his old laboratory before his daughter makes a big mistake. Time is running out in more ways than one.
Meanwhile, other mysterious forces are threatening to unravel reality as we know it.
In a nutshell
Dark Matter has mystified scientists for decades. It accounts for approximately 85% of the matter in the universe yet nobody was able to work out exactly what it was until Professor Mason found its true nature. His discovery leads to the development of The Darkway, a device that allows objects to travel anywhere in the blink of an eye using code hidden within Dark Mater. But hacking the universe has its price as he would quickly find out.
The Darkway will take readers on a mind-bending adventure that questions the fundamental existence of mankind – with a dose of dark humour along the way.
A work in progress
Inspired by the way Charles Dickens published some of his most famous stories, The Darkway will be released chapter by chapter to read for free on Facebook.
