I · The Main Plot
Where We Start
Ryan begins a new time loop with the goal of preventing New Rome's destruction at the hands of the vicious Meta-Gang, per the Goodreads and Audible blurb.
Major Plot Points & Spoilers
- He tries both sides of the conflict: a corporate superhero in one loop and a supervillain in the next.
- Open mysteries from the blurb: a heavy secret the Dynamis corporation keeps from him, a person who seems to remember events from the previous loop, and his missing cashmere suit.
- Grokipedia adds that he forms alliances across timelines, but that is a single AI-written source. No source gives chapter-level events, bosses or twists.
Where the Book Leaves Off
Not verified. The Book 3 blurb says Ryan prepares one last trip back in time, which implies the book ends with the threats to New Rome unresolved, but how Book 2 closes is not confirmed.

- Len: Ryan's friend; Grokipedia says Len Sabino, the Underdiver, is a Blue Genome engineer with a strained relationship with Ryan. Single-source, so treat as unconfirmed.
