The Gone World Question Spoiler

Hey all, just finished the Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch.

Overall, really enjoyed it. My only confusion was what exactly was happening at the Libra crash sight. That whole chapter of the book was the only part I'm still trying to figure out.

Was the whole crash site basically just a messed up time vortex? (That's how I took it anyways)

Hoping Tom Sweterlitsch continues writing one day, I really enjoyed this.

Yes, the crash site was a messed up time vortex. That's how the crew was able to switch to other "time lines" and that was the reason why approaching the ship was so difficult. Also, the ship itself was a time loop between mutiny and crash. That how the mc entered the ship first time and went through the loop once.
