The Wave Theory by Jeff Schneidereit

Before the Big Bang another universe flourished where survival of the fittest defined the strength of moguls. In an old house decaying on the Travenjac plain Ty discovers the secrets of his missing father, and sets about to complete a long-abandoned starship mover. Learning its innovative design threatens the grip of the galactic moguls, Ty flees for his life through time and space. He journeys to a rival planet, only to find the mogul’s web closing in amid a universe crushing under the weight of greed. Against a backdrop of science and the possibilities that lay before us, Ty devises a plan to save the decaying universe.
