Date: October 26, 2023

Author: Claudia D. Reid

Core Theme: Multiverse stories exploring second and more chances at love and redemption across timelines. The author was inspired by personal hardship ("going through an eviction") when writing the first book.

I. Primary Narrative Arc & Key Conflicts

The core narrative revolves around Ken Kimono, a government-sanctioned assassin and quantum jumper, tasked by the tyrannical Zues Malack to eliminate Shayla Sodas (Subject S/The Chosen) across multiple timelines. However, Ken repeatedly falls in love with Shayla and fathers a child named Seven, a "spiritual and genetic anomaly" with unique powers. The central conflict shifts from Ken's mandated assassinations to his rebellion against Zues, driven by his love for Shayla and Seven, culminating in a multiversal war for free will against controlling entities.

Key Conflicts:

  • Love vs. Programming/Control: Ken's implanted control chip and Zues's attempts to manipulate emotions are constantly pitted against the enduring power of love between Ken and Shayla, and their bond with Seven.
  • Destiny vs. Free Will: The characters constantly fight against pre-determined outcomes and controlled timelines to forge their own path.
  • Memory vs. Erasure: Zues and the Quiet Thirteen attempt to erase memories, identities, and even entire timelines, while the protagonists strive to reclaim and remember who they are and who they love.
  • The Nature of Humanity: The story explores what constitutes a soul and humanity, particularly through the journeys of clones like Mina and Unit 44K, who gain consciousness and choose love.
