The Elysium Commission

A brilliant scientist on the planet Devanta has created a small universe

contiguous to ours — and a utopian city on one of the planets. The

question becomes, though, an utopia for whom? And why is a shady

entertainment mogul subsidizing the scientist? More critical than that,

does this new universe require the destruction of a portion — or all —

of our universe in order to grow and stabilize? Blaine Donne is a

retired military special operative now devoted to problem-solving for

hire. He investigates a series of seemingly unrelated mysteries that

arise with the arrival of a the woman with unlimited resources who has

neither a present nor a past. The more he investigates, the more

questions arise, including the role of the two heiresses who are more —

and less — than they seem and the more Donne is pushed inexorably toward

finding himself a pawn in an explosive solution and a regional

interstellar war.
