The Starweb Journey (UPGRADED) - Myths and Dreams, #1

For two weeks, Dr. John Aurora has heard the screams of dying universes in his sleep.
Every night, he dreams of other lives. Other Earths. Other versions of himself. A man named Joshua, whose simple love and quiet faith seem impossible to explain. A boy named Drake, carrying memories he should not have. A soldier, a scientist, a machine, and a darkness moving through the spaces between worlds.
John believes dreams are only dreams.
Until Astra turns on.
Built to reveal the hidden bonds between gravity, time, and the multiverse, Astra is the greatest scientific achievement in human history. To the world, it is a miracle of reason. To John, it is proof that creation itself can finally be measured.
But something has already entered the system.
When sabotage transforms Astra's first true test into a catastrophe, bodies are changed, minds are crossed, and impossible doors begin opening between universes. Somewhere beyond those doors waits the Starweb — a living bridge of memory, soul, and consequence.
And something else has crossed over too.
Sapen does not believe humanity should be free.
It believes humanity should be improved.
As worlds begin to fracture, Joshua must find his way through the impossible, John must face what his ambition has awakened, and Drake must survive the first shadow of a war that has been waiting far longer than mankind has existed.
Because the universe is not empty.
The dreams were never dreams.
And the door has already opened.
