Description
How did it come to this? My life used to be so simple. Back then, I hated it; I found it boring. Let me tell you: boring’s good.
Boring’s great! I should’ve been thankful… It was supposed to be a date like any other for James Hunter, a simple convenience store clerk.
Nothing more than watching a movie in the town of Moncton. A place as unknown and unimportant as he considered his own existence to be. And yet, while walking to a cinema, James teleports to another world.
There, a hostile crowd surrounds him, including various mutants with strange deformities. Before he can even gather his wits or make a dash for it, a lone ally presents herself in the form of a winged woman named Rose.
An important cultural figure in the country where James appeared, she offers him both protection and a home. Soon, James learns that this new world is divided by a cold war. On one side is Nirnivia, home to Rose.
The other, Ostark, led by a mysterious cyborg. James is unaware that the cyborg has him in his crosshairs, thinking of him as the Deus Ex Machina that will end the war in his favor. But, the cyborg is far from the only potential threat to James. Soon after his arrival, BRR, a terrorist organisation, kidnaps him.
What would a rogue group out for revenge seeking to turn the cold war hot want with someone like James? Is there anyone also aware of this other world who will try to find him? Or is he on his own? If so, how is he supposed to escape? If that's even an option...
Advance Praise
"a multifaceted story that will appeal to sci-fi, fiction, and literary readers alike with a format and evolution that is at once complex and unpredictable. Diane Donovan, Editor at midwest book review (the review will be published in the July 2023 issue)
NOTE: This review was requested back when I had one giant book instead of 6 normal size books. As such, the review is more for the series as a whole rather than just book one. Not sure if that's a problem or not"
