Niquid is an assassin from a species known as The Animators. They are a thriving, semi-psychic civilisation in a galaxy unimaginably far from here. He finds himself the only one of them left, trillions of years into deep time, stuck on a megalithic space-station orbiting a black-hole. With only another civilisation, The Guardians Of Reality; a shady machine race, The Solid State Sentients; and the ever present AI as company. He is tasked with upholding the symmetry of their 4D reality and preventing the collapse of everything.

Along the way to this final destiny he has to deal with the deaths of loved ones; a gangster boss on his home-world; an unthinking, unstoppable nanobot threat; and being trapped in an almost eternal simulation with a psychotic overlord! He also climbs to the top of the military and beyond by learning ghost-hacking and through numerous physical confrontations and conflicts. Not only this: can he trust his allies at the end of time? Where did they come from? And this mission he is tasked with, does he even have a choice?

He will find that his fate is not only inextricably linked with multiple other threads but also fundamental and written into the fabric of this eternal reality itself.

The 2nd book by Author 5D Nick

From The Big Bang through the present all the way to Deep Time at the end of everything, humans and humanoid aliens are pawns in a cosmic battle between two warring super intelligences. Across time and hyperspace the battles rage, from the subtle and sublime to direct destruction. Inner space and outer, neither is safe or as solid as they may seem. 

Mind-bending hard sci-fi, The Endless Maze is 5D Nick’s debut novel.
