About Spin

As children, Tyler Dupree and his friends watch the night sky disappear behind an artificial barrier known as the Spin. Outside it, time is racing forward at a terrifying rate, forcing humanity to confront alien engineering, planetary crisis, and the possibility that the sun’s death is far closer than it seems.
