Book description
The Empire rules 200 million worlds. Earth? A joke. A backward speck clinging to lies about a past it never had. Until the crack tore through time.
Not a rumble. A shatter. A Chicago tailor-Joseph Schwartz, 1949, happily stitching suits-stumbles into the glittering, suffocating heart of Trantor. The Empire's throne room. His world? Gone. Replaced by a future he can't breathe in, where Earth's very existence is a blasphemy. The air hums with contempt. The Emperor's court sneers. Earth? They call it a myth. A lie.
But the lie is real. And it's alive in him. A walking, breathing proof they've spent centuries mocking. And that proof? They want to use him. Not to reclaim Earth's glory. To end it. To wipe out every other world, every other life in the Empire, to force humanity back onto its own dead rock. A plan not of hope, but of desperation. Of madness.
Hear the narrator's voice in your ear-raw, unflinching, pulling you into the panic of that impossible moment. The crack of the time fault. The suffocating weight of Trantor's golden cage. The sheer, terrifying wrongness of a man from 1949, stitching a suit, suddenly holding the fate of a galaxy. His quiet dignity against the Empire's crushing arrogance. The desperate, chilling whisper of the conspiracy: Let Earth be the only home. Even if it means burning the rest to ash.
This isn't just history. It's now. Every word crackles with the tension of a knife at the throat. You feel Joseph's confusion, his terror, the crushing weight of being the only one who knows Earth's truth-and the Empire's terrible, beautiful lie. The Empire's collapse begins not with a battle cry, but with a single, terrified heartbeat in a man who just wanted to go home. Earth wasn't a planet. It was a wound. And this book? It's the scalpel. Sharp. Unavoidable. The Empire's final, shuddering breath begins right here. Press play. The future is already bleeding into the past.
