Ian Dayl - Dimension protocol

When urban systems analyst Erik Halvorsen vanishes from an Oslo metro train in a single frame of security footage, the world calls it a glitch. Dr. Patterson Creek and the Nocturnis–York Institute know better. Across continents, people are disappearing—and returning changed. Memory fractures. Quantum resonance anomalies. A woman in a dark-blue coat and pale green silk scarf appearing at every crossing. Behind the phenomenon lies a hidden network of dimensional interference—one that may not be natural at all. As governments activate classified protocols and rival tech factions race to control the phenomenon, Creek's team discovers a chilling possibility: reality is not singular. It is layered. And someone has learned to move between those layers at will. To save Erik—and perhaps the fabric of consciousness itself—they must enter the fractures. But the deeper they go, the more one question echoes: Are these random accidents… or is someone rewriting the structure of existence? Dimension Protocol - the 3rd Patterson Creek story - is a high-concept techno-thriller where quantum physics, dream research, and parallel realities collide—and where crossing the boundary may change you forever.
