Impelled by spectral phenomena at his senior prom and the unexpected reappearance of Zoe, an "analog" of his girlfriend Jena from a parallel universe, Ephraim again steps out of his own world. Landing in a somewhat more advanced one, he learns from an adult version of Jena that all the universes have entered a cycle of uncontrolled proliferation and collapse. How to reboot the continuum without causing loved ones from less "real" planes to disappear?
Just as in Fair Coin, the plot is a mess of comings and goings driven by romantic and ethical conflicts, hidden agendas, mad-science style devices and arbitrary physics.
Fans of alternate worlds and science fiction will find a fun read in this second book!
