In the shadow of World War II, Captain Derrick Melbourne is pulled from obscurity to helm a covert operation codenamed Project Rainbow. Tasked with overseeing a daring experiment led by none other than Albert Einstein, Derrick becomes entangled in a web of science, secrecy, and sacrifice. The goal? To render the USS Eldridge invisible using cutting-edge theories of electromagnetism and the unified field.
As the project progresses, Derrick wrestles with the moral and scientific implications of the experiment, watching Einstein’s brilliance clash with the crushing weight of wartime urgency. The narrative unfolds in vivid, suspenseful detail as the experiment veers dangerously close to catastrophe.
When the Eldridge vanishes in a flash of light during the test, it’s clear that the team has crossed into uncharted territory. The ship reappears, but the results are far from the anticipated triumph. Survivors recount nightmarish experiences, some fused with the ship's metal, others driven mad by their journey into the unknown.
