A small grey robot dog stands over him, patient as the dust, holding a single tablet in its jaw. \u003ci\u003eGood morning. You have one item of correspondence. Delivery is logged.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe correspondence is a warrant. It bears his own name - \u003cb\u003eAnton V, unit five of five\u003c\/b\u003e - and it charges him with nothing less than the end of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs each day's dispatch peels back another layer, Anton recovers a hundred centuries of buried memory: a laboratory dug down toward the Earth's molten heart, where his team found a people who were not quite people - advanced, gentle, hollowed out, calling themselves the Three. A reincarnation engine fused to a machine that folds time. A wife he stole across the ages and learned, too late, to love. A golden civilization drowned at the dawn of history and dragged screaming back into the light. And, beneath all of it, a single unbearable question he has spent every life refusing to answer: \u003ci\u003ewhy, when he has sworn over and over to end suffering, does he reach every single time for the knife?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe has been a god, a prisoner, a healer, a murderer, and the most honored mind his species ever produced. Now, in the ruins of a paradise he built and burned, with a hunter's light crossing the plain to collect him at last, Anton has one final chance to do the one thing he has never once managed in a hundred centuries - and discover what the door was truly for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA haunting, time-spanning meditation on guilt, free will, and the terrible difference between \u003ci\u003ehelping\u003c\/i\u003e a world and \u003ci\u003eforcing\u003c\/i\u003e it, \u003cb\u003eATON V\u003c\/b\u003e asks whether a man who has only ever destroyed can, just once, choose to save - even when it costs him everything, and saves no one but the ones he loves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ivan Teller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798181342095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Ivan Teller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49173677998335,"sku":"9798181342095","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aton-v-ivan-teller-9798181342095","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
