Short
Summary of the book:
2 Scientist die in an accident at the physics
department at Belfore University when they are sucked into the void during a
demonstration of a new development in batteries.
Now, 30 years later, investigations are done
in the subject of voidology. Andi wants to become an actress and strikes a deal
with her dad. If she passes the subject, he will fund her drama training. She
is not really interested in the subject and believes it to be a farce. When she
is at risk of failing the subject, her dad forces her to work harder and employs
a tutor. There are a lot of twists and turns and a non-subject becomes a
dangerous mystery.

Description by Author:
Andi has a knack for remembering everything
she hears—everything, as long as she concentrates. She’s racked up three
degrees using her talent, but all she really wants is to pursue a career in
acting. Financing her dream requires extreme measures—she makes a deal with her
father. Now she’s stuck at Belfore University earning a Ph.D. in Voidology, and
her life has reached an all-time low.
Thirty years earlier, two scientists in
Belfore’s physics department died after accidentally opening a portal to the
Void. The discovery is universally accepted as the greatest scientific
breakthrough of all time, and the interdimensional phenomenon raised billions
for research and development. It inspired a generation, but after decades with
nothing to show for the money and effort poured into it, the Void has become a
joke.
Only a few still believe in the Void’s
potential, and most of them attend Belfore University—the only place left to
study it. But another has been working in secret to exploit the phenomenon, and
his methods are less than scrupulous. When he learns how Andi’s unusual talent
can advance his goals, the reluctant Voidology student finds herself in serious
trouble.
