Jack & Sonic Saga

One lost everything. One never stops running.

A ten-book science fiction saga with two leads and no sidekicks. Jack is the sole survivor of a universe that fell. Sonic is the fastest thing alive. One capsule carries them through time and space, to worlds unknown, and through a friendship neither of them ever says anything about.

Book 1 is being written now

Echoes of a Fallen Universe

Jack’s world ended in blazing green light. Escaping in a time capsule he built in his own garage. The four hundred and twenty-eight year old drifted with nowhere left to go, until a signal playing jazz seized the capsule and threw him down outside Green Hill.

It’s a world that’s still breathing. A bustling summer market. A woman whose husband has been kidnapped. And a blue blur that won’t stop following him.

Sonic doesn’t trust strangers who fall out of the sky. Jack just wants to be left alone. But someone is building something in the darkness, and Jack has seen already what the end of a world looks like.
