Thanks for stepping into the world of the Zoboros! This world has lived inside my head for a very long time, and I am so excited to share it with you.
To be completely honest, I never pictured myself writing a book. Script writing was always my passion; in fact, this story began as a collection of scripts. As the story developed and the characters became more complex, however, I realized that this story couldn't be contained in a script. To tell it the way I wanted to, I needed to make it into a book.
Thus began a three year journey of writing, reading, and revising (oh, so much revising!). I lost track of the number of drafts I've written in the past three years. What I do know is that this is the first draft that feels like the story I always wanted to read. And now it's your turn!
Trouble in the Floating City is the first in a series that follows Kano, his companions, and his enemies on their journey through a galaxy filled with adventure, mystery, and dangers untold. To my fellow fans of Star Wars, Spielberg movies, and comic books: this one's for you.
What happens when parallel universes collide? When a portal opens up in the middle of the city, it unleashes a reign of terror unlike anything that anyone has ever known. With the world's military forces unable to contain the problem, the world is plunged into darkness with Chicago as ground zero.
Over the course of two years, the human race has been driven underground and lives in constant fear. Resources are scarce and time is running out for the planet. Among those people, is Damien, who, because of the invasion, was orphaned at eighteen years old and forced to learn to fight to survive. Together, with his friend, Christian, he stumbles upon a group of people who have dedicated their lives to fighting the invading forces.
After a close encounter with the Nightstalkers, a race of reptilian-like creatures, Damien's world is, once again, turned upside-down as strange things start to happen to him. Soon, he comes to realize that he is more connected to this threat than he could have ever imagined. And when the true threat reveals himself and his power, it becomes clear that the fate of the entire planet could be decided in an instant.
Can he be stopped in time or will the world remain in eternal darkness???
