Book Synopsis

Have you ever made a HUGE Mistake?

One that endangered your friends and family?

Would you do ANYTHING to fix it? Even travel the multiverse?

Then catch up with Ian Wilder as he tries to Escape from Atlantis City!

After his clash with pirates, Ian Wilder now spends his days in a mental illness treatment facility, trying to forget that Penelope left him behind for the multiverse. Luckily his therapy is working. Ian is happy to move on and get back home. But the multiverse won't let him.

Weeks before his release, Ian wakes in the mysterious Atlantis City in a different reality. Worse, he's accidentally brought two of his treatment friends with him, and they've been kidnapped by a freakish ring of meta-human criminals.

When he gets back home, Ian learns he too has become a traveler of infinite realities. But he can't leave his friends behind in the multiverse.

That's what Penelope did to him.

Can Ian take what he learned on the high seas and help his friends escape from Atlantis City? Or will he again lose people to the multiverse?
