THE WORLD THAT...
An action sci fi trilogy about what happens when two worlds are left with no choice but to hurt the other, kill the other, destroy the other. A story of mystic islands and killer cults, of feuding scientists and chances for salvation. Sometimes the only way to live forever is to never have existed.
The World That Never Was - Book 1
As the tiny isolated North Sentinel Island comes into view, Dr. Andrew Ripley wonders if this was all a terrible mistake. In fact, he’s sure it was. But his old friend, maybe his only friend, anthropologist Dr. Reina Sakai, asked him to come and solve a mystery. She wants him to study an anomaly found on the island. They don’t realize it yet, but it is something that could mark the beginning of the end.For 60,000 years, the Sentinelese people have attacked anyone who dared make it to the white sands of the remote island, protecting their way of life, their beliefs, their rituals. They have been hidden away from the prying eyes of the rest of the world. Until now. Even the tribe is willing to allow visitors if it gives them answers.Now, as the island’s thick jungle of bamboo and swaying palms grows closer and closer to Andrew Ripley, so does the collision of two worlds. This island is set to become a battleground of sorts. A fight between old friends and new enemies as they confront the hard truths between them. Between science and mysticism. A battle between the modern world and the primitive. Between ritual and disorder. Between the known and unknown. And as in every war, there will be victors. There will be losses. When two worlds are pitted against each other, only one will survive.
The World That Started The War - Book 2
“If you have any questions, write them down. We will get to them later.” This is what Isaac Young is told as he is rushed off to another world. A second world. Before that he was taken into custody in Phoenix by a government agency he’d never heard of. And before that he stopped a terrorist attack, stopped a building from becoming an oversized crater in the middle of the city all while he was trying to steal millions in uncut diamonds. And this is the thanks he gets. Shoved through a portal with a time released capsule filled with poison injected into his neck. If you have any questions write them down.Adam has seen war before, but not on this scale. Not a world war. And definitely not a war between two worlds. But long before all of this, Isaac was happy. He was married. His wife was alive. He still believed things could stay that way forever. Amazing how one explosion can change so many things.He is given eight hours. That’s how long until the poison in his neck seeps into his body and kills him. That’s so no one “over there” can catch him alive, question him, and find out how he made his way to this other world. Eight hours to stop a war … or to start a war. Isaac isn’t quite sure. If you have any questions write them down.

The World That Was Burned Alive - Book 3
In the dense forest of Minnewaska, two hours outside of New York City, Mel searches for her missing brother. Her only remaining family, Sean is the most important person in her life. So she walks the woods where he was last seen every day for 2 months, finding nothing. Until one day, she finds a journal written by her brother buried underneath the cold dirt and dead leaves. The scrawled spiraling words frighten her, anger her, but they drive her to continue her search deeper into the forest. Meanwhile, in the midst of Isaac's plan to get himself and Naomi back to their own worlds, he must risk everything to break Dr. Andrew Ripley from prison. He may be the only person in both worlds who can create a portal to send them home. But after his time in captivity and after his actions on North Sentinel Island, is Andrew still sane enough to help Isaac, and even if he is, is that what he wants to do? Andrew may find his own true purpose in all of this.
Both stories converge in Minnewaska Forest where a group of people hidden away from society are working on ending the war between worlds. But the end of the war may also mean the end of both worlds.
