In Shadows of the Infinite, we follow the journey of Tom Hanks, an everyman accountant living a comfortable suburban life in Willow Creek. Tom's life is turned upside down when he discovers that he is being pursued by a malevolent cosmic entity, whose intentions remain shrouded in mystery. Fleeing his once-idyllic home, Tom embarks on a wild odyssey across the country, pursued relentlessly by the entity that seems to defy all logic and reason. Along the way, he encounters a colorful cast of characters who aid him in his quest for survival, including an older wise-cracking companion named Polly, a mysterious wanderer named Michael Douglas and Billy McWands, a magician whose mastery of the arcane arts may hold the key to defeating the cosmic entity once and for all. As Tom's journey unfolds, he discovers that the cosmic entity is not merely a figment of his imagination but a tangible force with the power to manipulate reality itself. Desperate to escape its clutches, Tom delves deep into the mysteries of the universe, seeking answers to questions he never thought to ask. With each step of his journey, Tom's understanding of the world is challenged, and he must confront his deepest fears and insecurities in order to overcome the cosmic entity's relentless pursuit. In the end, Tom Hanks will discover that the truest victory is not in escaping the shadows but in finding the light within himself. Shadows of the Infinite explores several overarching themes: Existential Dread, Friendship and The Nature of Reality. The novel explores concepts of perception, illusion, and the interconnectedness of all things, challenging traditional notions of truth and existence.
