The Origin Index
A Parallel-World Thriller of Three True HistoriesBy Jonah Arlen
Length9h 32m
About this audiobook
Three histories. One name. Every document is genuine—and the story they tell is false.
At Rill Works, a suppressed industrial warning ended in catastrophe. In one world, Mara Vey was murdered before the disaster. In another, she survived. In a third, two people who might have become her parents lived separate lives.
When examiner Ellis receives records from all three histories under one heading, he investigates. The source marks are authentic. The identity claimed by the file is not. Then a phrase in the surviving witness’s account echoes Ellis’s childhood.
His inquiry leads into a parallel world where evidence is protected by rules he cannot control. A monitored experiment moves him one hour forward while the world continues around him, proving the missing hour is real without revealing what the damaged record means.
The Origin Index is a standalone science fiction thriller about conflicting histories, convincing evidence, and the cost of what one investigator chooses to certify.
