Eight Gates appeared on Earth. At first, humanity believed they were a path to an alien civilization. Then the Gates became part of everyday life. But the worlds beyond them are far stranger than anyone imagined. The Delta of Worlds is a science-fantasy trilogy about parallel Variants connected by mysterious Gates, rare travelers known as Striders, and Quintessence — a force that powers civilizations and may reveal the true nature of reality. As Mac crosses deeper into the Delta, every answer leads to a larger mystery: why do the Gates exist, what lies behind the structure of the worlds, and what happens when humanity begins to understand it?
