The Boys of the Breach

The Breach Cycle #1

by David Welch

Easton Keller and Breck Everett wanted nothing more than to serve their country. But when budget cuts cause them to be ‘prematurely retired’ from the Special Forces, these two warriors find themselves embarking on a new adventure. They’ve been hired to provide security for scientists working at a facility that explores the multiverse, opening breaches into other universes to see what’s out there and what they can learn. Given the infinite span of the multiverse, there are endless discoveries out their waiting for mankind to come and find them. But with every possible eventuality existing in one parallel universe or another, they’re bound to run into danger…lots of danger. That’s where the Easton and Breck come in. Leading a guard company of other former military and police veterans, they take on everything the multiverse can throw at them: Pissed-off sentient dinosaurs, alien critters who feed off body-horror, prehistoric bears with a grudge, interdimensional corsair slavers, wild west madmen bent on refighting the civil war, genius scientists who completely lack common sense, parallel versions of themselves who cheat at cards…even ex-wives they may or may not still be hung up on. Their job is to face them all and bring the egg-heads home safe, and they’re among the few who might actually be able to do it. The multiverse may be a dangerous place, but these are dangerous men…

Reviews

[Nicholas]

The concept was intriguing if not totally original. A portal to alternate universes, times, etc. I wish more page count was devoted to exploring these worlds and times and that some of them could have been of more depth than just bad guys, rape, jingoism, overly alpha male fantasy, and very basic sexual and relationship treatments.

the book itself may have been more effective if shortened by 100 pages. And the editing was noticeably not very tight. There were passages where the wrong character was identified as speaking where it was not in context of the scene and some other minor annoyances.

This may be my one and only delve into the breach.

I wanna go

Hints of star gate. Great story. I could not stop reading about the planet of the trees. I always look for new ideas and u did a great job giving them. Hope this becomes a series .I will buy it. In fact was disappointed there wasn't a book 2. Keep up the great work, I will be looking at your other books. Thank you.

Really enjoyable. Hoping for a sequel.

I recommend this book. I enjoy stories with character development and interaction. Plenty of action but didn't overshadow the characters.

Breach

This one is tops. Dinosaurs with Ray guns, attacking giant insects, cowboy bad guys and beautiful girls, what else do you need.

Great platform

The author has come up with a great platform he can take it anywhere he wats and still stay inside the basic story line. Should be fun to see where he goes with this.
