The Rift

The idea of a portal to alternate realities is fascinating and raises questions about ethics and safety. I'm curious what sparked Richards' imagination for this dangerous discovery.

The story hardly gave a moment to breathe, which made the suspense almost unbearable. I wonder if Richards aimed for that nonstop adrenaline rush or if it evolved during writing.

The science seemed plausible without overwhelming the story, which made the stakes feel real. Did the author do extensive research or draw from current scientific theories?
