The Broken Universe to be Released in June // Mar 16
The sequel to THE WALLS OF THE UNIVERSE is scheduled for release June 5th, 2012. THE BROKEN UNIVERSE will be out in hardcover from Tor Books. It’s a direct sequel to WALLS and follows the adventures of my protagonists, John Rayburn, his doppelganger John Prime, and his friends Grace and Henry. The end of book 1 found the four trapped in Universe 7651 after escaping the Alarians in Universe 7650. They’ve built a new device in 7651 to return home, only to find that the Alarians have found the first gate John built. But now with the ability to build transfer gates between universes, the Pinball Wizards start building a transdimensional company, one that uses differences between universes as ways to make money and use ideas.
