Novels by Robert Baker
The Helios Cascade
Every universe felt it. No one knows why.
Novels by Robert Baker, set in worlds changed by the same impossible moment. Start with The Pruning, the origin of the Helios Cascade.
Where to start
The Pruning
At 04:41 on the twenty-seventh of June, for eleven seconds, the world stopped agreeing with itself.
Elias Marrow was a war correspondent until a story he wrote got his source killed. Now he films gentle science features for a London monthly. Tonight he is at CERN for the last night of the collider’s run, interviewing an engineer beside the dullest experiment on site, when it fires. The sound dies. His camera loses eleven seconds that never happened. Outside, a technician asks for a sister he has never had.

How to read them
Reading order
The origin
It is also the first of three. The two novels that follow it continue this story directly, and they are meant to be read after it, in order.
Everything else
These stand alone. Start with any of them.
The morning
The morning at the centre of the series never changes and is never the whole story. Reality began to change, everywhere at once, in more worlds than anyone could count. Each novel is about what came after that morning in one of those worlds: who gets believed, who gets moved, and what still has to be paid for.
