Eternity's End — Dan Rix

Trapped inside a bubble universe the size of a broom closet, eighteen-year-old Raedyn Summers is running out of air and water. At the former site of a defunct tech startup in Palo Alto, the earth underneath an abandoned warehouse is decaying at an alarming rate. Scientists are saying it's a rip in the fabric of the universe. They're saying it's spreading. Back at home, an inexplicable voicemail sent from outside the boundaries of space-time launches Gabriel Rockwell on a desperate quest to rescue the girl he loves from a death sentence in limbo. Fleeing both the FBI and the U.S. military, Gabe steels himself for a daring, one-shot attempt at “creating” Raedyn back into existence. There's a hitch, though: the animals he practices on are all coming back screwed up, like they're missing something essential. But when Raedyn's tiny universe -- population of one -- begins collapsing in on itself with her still inside it, Gabe must make a choice: let her slip into oblivion, or play God and create her again -- maybe this time without a soul.
