Knocked: Into Another Dimension

by Derek C Chance

One bolt of lightning changed everything.

Now Max must risk everything—his mind, his heart, and the fate of the multiverse—to bring his family back.

When Max’s younger brother vanishes during a violent thunderstorm, swallowed by an interdimensional rift, Max is left haunted by guilt—and obsessed with getting him back. Years later, he builds the Draw Bridge, a device that opens portals between worlds. But just when hope returns, tragedy strikes Tabitha, the love of his life, is kidnapped by an alternate version of himself.

Now Max must cross worlds teetering on the edge of collapse, outwit twisted versions of the people he thought he knew, and confront truths he’s not ready to face. Each choice could splinter reality further—and time is running out.

Two lives. One invention. Infinite realities. Will Max save his family… or lose everything across the multiverse?

This book isn't a favorite of mine. The writer didn't develop the characters in favor of technology. The technology part of the book was difficult to follow, but if you had a basic understanding of what the writer was intending to move the book forward you could grasp the concepts. As a woman, I prefer more character-oriented books. I believe men would appreciate the technology driven story, especially if they enjoy gadgets.

It seemed more of a Young adult book. Good but not my interest in read. Read up to ch 12.
