About the story

The Zone Engine
A Visionary Sci-Fi Thriller of Invention, Loss, and the Relentless Pursuit of technology.

Flynn was a decorated submariner turned pilot and co-innovator, driven by a shared dream with his team—Team Nautilus—to revolutionize energy and bend the limits of science itself. With their cold fusion prototype came Alpha, a gravity-defying breakthrough. Then came Beta, a more advanced engine capable of reaching beyond space—into time itself. With the help of an interdimensional witness.

But their success drew the attention of a powerful and ruthless tech conglomerate bent on seizing their invention. What followed shattered everything. Friends. Family. The future they were building together. In the aftermath, Flynn vanished—diving headfirst into isolation, grief, and quantum theory.

Fifteen long years passed.

In secret, Flynn modified the Beta Engine one final time—not to look back, but to go back. To rewrite a timeline that had unraveled. To save the people he loved and the mission they believed in.

Now with the knowledge, power and responsibility, Flynn must rebuild the very path that was stolen from them—knowing full well that their enemies may return stronger, sooner, and smarter.

The Zone Engine is a story of resilience, discovery, and the courage to defy fate itself. In a world where physics can be rewritten, what matters most is what you do with the knowledge rediscovered through blood, sweat and tears.

Cold fusion. A powerful EM field.
Time doesn’t wait. But he learned to listen for 15 years—and carry the weight of every choice.
In the stillness between seconds, redemption calls.
The future begins now.
