I believe there has been some confusion. Perhaps the fault lies in my writing or in how I've arranged the chapters. Let me clarify.
This novel may seem widespread in scope, but it revolves around one central figure: Atrius. Even when the story shifts into different points of view for a chapter or two, those perspectives are always connected—directly or indirectly—to Atrius's presence and influence.
This is not a simple multiversal tale where the protagonist jumps rapidly from world to world without meaning. I find such stories shallow and redundant; they rush from plot point to plot point while failing to truly explore the worlds they visit. My vision is different.
Every world Atrius and the others encounter will be thoroughly explored—its culture, its history, its struggles. Where certain films or stories leave worlds unfinished or without sequels, I intend to expand them, to build on what already exists without betraying their original essence.
Atrius is the center of this multiversal opera. Around him, threads will weave together: his own journey, the secret search fleet scouring the stars for his trace to return him to the Emperor's protection, and the Imperium itself, ever marching to conquer and bring order to the galaxy.
This will be a story of many themes and many settings—but all will spiral back to Atrius, the axis of it all.
