Lintcorp Stories

{Book One in the Sketch Rift Trilogy} Charles Hemingway is a spy. Only the most cunning and clever actions will carry him to his end goal, as with any spy. But Hemingway is no ordinary spy- he manipulates time itself to bring himself to his destination, the new home of his target: a hero from years ago called Samuel Lawrence, or Soal. A year has passed since Soal's journey back in time with Irene Grammor, the Green Phantom, and they have begun to blend in with the people of the time. But Hemingway's signals begin to penetrate their lives, and with the blow of four mysterious numbers: 9, 1, 0, and 1, they are pulled into a trap set by the spy. This trap will send them to Hemingway's age, an age once dominated by the malice of an unspeakably desperate corporation. An age in which one threat reigns supreme, the one with which Hemingway has matched them for a battle: the Time-Bound Thief. And the numbers that have been etched into Soal's mind bring further meaning than the purpose of the spy, and prognosticate a mysterious fate that Soal must face, or die. ATTENTION: This is the seventh total book in the Sketch Saga. The first entry is The Sketch: the Voyage of Soal. You must read books one to six before reading this one.

{Book Three in the Sketch Rift Trilogy} When the Eternal Crusade disbanded without the leadership of the notorious former Sulukridger Ivel, Hendera grew increasingly apprehensive as to the real worth of their very own Master Bringer. Among them, Samuel Lawrence, or Soal, has been presented with the true method of the defeat of the Bane of the Armorillion on 9101 by the Ambassador: the Reacsoa Hand, the pen of the Cofontors, which can "write" any wrong. But Hendera is divided as the Ambassador and the pseudo-Sulukridger, who is concealing much more than he will give, duel for the fate of their Plane. Amidst everything, the futility of defeating Sulukrita is realized by the weary Master Bringer. And when September First dawns, victory will require much more than just a feather pen. ATTENTION: This is the ninth and final entry in the Sketch Saga, which begins with The Sketch: The Voyage of Soal.

{Book Two of the Sketch Survivors Trilogy} After the Rooted Spire burned and Lint Corp betrayed our Un-Characters, they now know the dark side of Lint Corp. The First Brigade has been separated, though- Soal chasing Moth into the flaming Spire, Renyrocrattus taken away to be studied, and the rest of the Brigade taken away by Lint Corp for strange experiments. Through a quick succession of events, Soal joins the Revolutes; a large organization of rebellious Un-Characters who evaded Lint Corp and clashed with them in the Sketch Facility for years. Their leader, the elusive Green Phantom, is intent on reaching Fort Whal in the outskirts of a Sketch called Iminentia before Lint Corp arrives to take back the Un-Characters they lost. She notices Soal quickly, but doesn't take him into account until a harrowing event. When their legion of Revolutes finally reaches Fort Whal, Lint Corp mounts a serious attack on the fortress. A desperate struggle begins as Soal uncovers Lint Corp's lies and secrets about his past; and a new goal appears in Soal's mind: stop Lint Corp. What from? He doesn't know, but the tension is escalating, and the fate of the Sketch Worlds, the Un-Characters, and Soal's life are all at stake. ATTENTION: You must read prior to this The Sketch Survivors: The Secret of Lint Corp. And to read that, you must read the original Sketch Trilogy, starting with The Sketch: The Voyage of Soal. The next installment is The Sketch Survivors: The Enemy Among Us.

{Book Two in the Sketch Rift Trilogy} Samuel Lawrence, or Soal, is revolted by the mere premise of returning to the bleak metropolis of Hendera. But these hopes are laid to rest when sentinels of the enigmatic Charles Hemingway draw his reentry, and in little time, his purpose is fixed. Hendera has long depended on the Eternal Crusade to solve their numerous ailments, much to the resentment of its conflicted leader, Count. But with the Time-Bound Thief restricted from achieving its inevitable past destiny, the Crusade has a new commander, whose twisted mind and beguiling atmosphere poisoned the wells of the Crusade's credibility. Through this character trickle the dreaded truths of an age-crossing communicator, the meaning of the Sulukridger race, and the reality of September First itself. And when Soal and his affiliates interpret the actuality of these revelations, their findings will send them on a shocking journey across the Rift, from which there is no turning back. ATTENTION: This is the second book in the third trilogy in the Sketch Saga, which begins with The Sketch: The Voyage of Soal.

{Book Three in the Sketch Trilogy} Articulus's army has been split in two. The first half, led by the Dark Lord himself, fled from the Scright Gardens towards the west, upon the defeat of Shadow Hand and his Dark Hand army. They rested in Rogodon for a time, until they sensed a rebellion great enough to get on the move once more. The second half, which was mainly Dark Soldiers occupying the Great Sea, had been chased into the southern Outlands during the Reclaiming, in which Soal and the army returned to where they had started their grand quest. Now, as the Congress of Kiwis approaches, Mervis and his followers become secretive, and Porter the Voltale continues to hold the truths from his trainee. When a terrible attack is declared, Soal and a small band of kiwis set out to destroy the Blade of Dark Light once and for all. As other adventures into the Outlands ensue, Articulus's power grows considerably, and there is only one who can stop him. The Un-Character, however, is surviving in a world of mystery, and is confronted with his most difficult decisions as the end of the war draws near. This is the defining final chapter of the Sketch Trilogy, but in order to read it, you must first read The Sketch: The Voyage of Soal, the first installment, and then its continuation, The Sketch: The Advancement of the Hands. P.S.: You can continue Soal's adventures in The Sketch Survivors Trilogy, starting with The Sketch Survivors: The Secret of Lint Corp.
