Finding Idyllium — N. Joseph Glass

Beyond the 4.5 billion Marc must save, Idyllium is his daughter's only hope. His planet is dying. A covert mission to save billions clashes with the fate of a pristine planet. As he crosses over to a parallel world, Marc grasps a keepsake from his little girl. He must make this end justify his means. From politician to soldier to civilian, ethical lines blur. Loyalties are challenged. From a high-profile assassination to taking down the defensive grid of a peaceful planet, Marc's mission takes desperate turns, dividing members of his platoon. Meanwhile, the life of his little girl dangles before his moral compass, setting its needle askew. Jewel will be lucky to see a couple more birthdays-unless Marc can get her to Idyllium in time. If it ends in a mission accomplished, would that be victory or defeat? The answer lies on Idyllium.
