The story
FRACTAL: Galactic Dominion is a hard-science graphic novel. Maarit, a Northwestern scientist, is building a nacre-inspired hull meant to be lighter, tougher, and quieter in the vacuum. She thinks she is testing a fuselage section.
A full-scale run in a research hangar at O’Hare completes a pattern she never intended. Maarit vanishes. Over Chicago, a jet comes apart, and the Sears Tower is hit.
