The Elysium Commission

A brilliant scientist on the planet Devanta has created a small universe
contiguous to ours — and a utopian city on one of the planets. The
question becomes, though, an utopia for whom? And why is a shady
entertainment mogul subsidizing the scientist? More critical than that,
does this new universe require the destruction of a portion — or all —
of our universe in order to grow and stabilize? Blaine Donne is a
retired military special operative now devoted to problem-solving for
hire. He investigates a series of seemingly unrelated mysteries that
arise with the arrival of a the woman with unlimited resources who has
neither a present nor a past. The more he investigates, the more
questions arise, including the role of the two heiresses who are more —
and less — than they seem and the more Donne is pushed inexorably toward
finding himself a pawn in an explosive solution and a regional
interstellar war.
