The Origin Dime Chronicles #1
Jacked, Part One of The Complete Beginner's Guide to Saving the Multiverse: The Origin Dime Chronicles Inspirata One Volume One
Jack didn’t invite anybody to his 21st birthday,
But, when a mind controlled freak from another dimension crawls in through your burger joint’s drive-thru window, licking cockroach from his fingers, it gets the party started.
Jack Kelly feels trapped in a system that has never done him any favors, working at the Mad Cow Burger Shack for next to nothing. All he wants is a little R&R, but the multiple universes he’s about to dive into have other plans.
Jack discovers the power within him to author any future he can imagine, and he may be the only one that can save it. Pitted in a battle to the death against the mind controlling Shadoes, and their plan to instill a status quo that could spell the end of everything, Jack’s got some catching up to do.
Can he figure out what it really means to be an “Aedapt” in time to stop the Shadoes? There’s action, there’s speed, there’s multiple dimensional travel as Jack is thrown headlong into a race against time that will have you cheering for more. Can you handle it?

Phew! Ok, resume breathing. That was fantastic! You had my full attention the whole way through.
-Courtney Allen
Ahh...what a cliffhanger! I really enjoyed your writing!
-K. Sterling
I enjoyed the bits of humor, the attention to detail. I appreciate imaginative stories that are also creepy so this had me engaged.
-Adriana Dvorska
Just wanted to say that I love this story
-D Mercer
I love this story and the world it's built in. Having Jack be the author of his experience is fascinating. Great work. I think this could be a real hit.
-R Shaver
It has a good pulp sci-fi feel too it. The characters have energy and intrigued to them. I found the Things to be amusing- kind of like you grumpy uncle. Jack has the Marty McFly-Luke Skywalker innocence.
-J Doh
Heartfelt. I like Jack and his sense of abandonment and betrayal. Things one and two, despite their seeming indifference and irritating presence, appear to be his guardian angels. And I love the idea of multiple dimensional layers composing one reality. Good story!

Lordy!
From the cockroach to the blobby things that disappear into the floor, I kept saying EEEWWW! Not to mention that man or being with the sweaty skin. It was a freaky story that made my skin scrawl and in my book it got the effect the writer was hoping for. It's not my usual reading choice, but I was curious after reading the sample and made a choice to get the book. I liked it and below are my reasons for giving it only 4 stars.
Reasons for my 4 star. I hope the writer does not feel offended by these suggestions.
There were a few inconsistencies that made me wonder if I missed something, such as Jacks age. It says he turned 21, his father disappeared when he was 9, that was 15 years ago. I got confused there, but as I said, it might have been just me. I felt that the writer should have developed some of the scenes a little more, but maybe that's just me. For me the basement scene where the two things told Jack about the vortex, I could not get a clear picture there.
For the most part it was unpredictable, fast pace and interesting, and I'm looking forward to reading part two.
