Tachyon Tunnel

Tachyon Tunnel: Book 1

Michael Gorton

Award winning author Michael Gorton masterfully describes advanced scientific concepts intertwined in a deeply human narrative. The story follows Paula, a molecular biologist on the cusp of receiving a Nobel Prize, whose life is abruptly cut short by a tragic accident. Her close friend, Alex, has been developing groundbreaking technology capable of tunneling through spacetime.

Driven by grief and determination, Alex embarks on a daring journey using this technology, leading then to a planet in Cassiopeia where they confront unforeseen challenges and emotions.

Gorton's narrative seamlessly blends elements of adventure, romance, and science fiction, inviting readers to explore profound questions about time, loss, and the lengths one might go to alter destiny. "Tachyon Tunnel" is a thought-provoking tale that challenges our understanding of reality and the human spirit.

Tachyon Tunnel 2: The Daklin Empire

Tachyon Tunnel: Book 2

Michael Gorton

In Tachyon Tunnel 2: The Daklin Empire, Alex Durant and his team return to Earth after mastering an astonishing technology that allows travel across both space and time. What they uncover upon their return, however, is a universe ruled by the fearsome Daklin Empire, an authoritarian force that has dominated the galaxy for millions of years.

As Alex and his lifetime love, Paula, along with their son Zander race to safeguard Earth, they must grapple with chilling truths: that the galaxy's ancient tachyon tunnel network was not created by the Daklin, but by some civilization tens of millions of years before. Alex and his team, now joined by computer whiz Megan, scientist Mark, and cybernetic partner Emily discover the very fabric of the universe is not what it seems.

During this compelling adventure, they explore profound scientific concepts, Tachyon tunneling, capable of unlocking new forms of travel across time and space. Plasma, the fourth state of matter, may not be just the fuel of stars but the very substrate of the universe. The book paints an innovative cosmic perspective where the universe is a vast plasma sea, while Earth and other planets are rare islands of fragile organic life adrift on its currents.

Tachyon Tunnel: Book 3

Michael Gorton

When the mighty Daklin Empire's planet killer is destroyed by an unexplained reflection of their energy burst, one survivor, Fortak, a 346-year-old Daklin scientist, escapes using Earth tachyon technology. His desperate leap through the T-Portal sets off a chain of events that could alter the balance of power across the galaxy.

Alex Durant, the pioneer of tachyon tunneling, faces the consequences of his creation as Fortak plots to deliver tachyon technology to the empire. In the resulting war, life must go on, where new loves are kindled, new alliances are forged, and the line between human and artificial intelligence blurs as Emily, Alex's cybernetic daughter, becomes more human than machine.
