There are worlds that exist beyond our dreams… and our nightmares.
A brilliant scientist has uncovered a secret that threatens humanity's future. Now his girlfriend is missing, and the voices in his head are back.
Since losing his daughter, Emma, seven years ago, Pike Shepard has struggled to maintain a normal life for himself in the coastal community of Blackwater. It’s a quiet life, until a beautiful scientist shows up on his doorstep with a desperate plea for help.
Dr. Kate Cassidy has uncovered a new aspect to quantum entanglement: the ability to not just see the multiverse but a way to travel through it. Her device allows them to SideSlip between parallel planes that are at once familiar and quite bizarre, wondrous, and terrifying.
Her ability to travel between realities uncovers a dark future for mankind. A man with a dark purpose promises profound evil and a ruthless government agent eager to see them all fail. Unless Kate and Pike can outwit them, the place they call home may never be safe again.

About the author
J.K. Franks
22 books207 followersAdmitted tech geek, entrepreneur, cyclist and inveterate storyteller, JK Franks’ world was formed by a childhood spent in the rural South growing up during the Space Age. This is when he developed a love for writing. He also became an avid student of history and science, and a regular reader of reference books and biographies. Once he discovered science fiction he never looked back.
His protagonists are human: not superheroes, just normal people with the same problems as everyone else, but who rise to challenges when they come along. The Catalyst series combines his passion for hard science fiction with his outlook on self-reliance.

I've been a fan of JK Franks since the first book he released, Downward Cycle.
The Night Gate has been a great read and if you are a fan of hard science, you have to read this! Travelling thru the multiverse? I mean, who doesn't want to do this?

Very good book, a combination of quantum science, thriller, multiverse, action and a lot more.

An interesting tale
Another good one ! I enjoyed the description of other worlds in the multiverse. Although it was a bit confusing at times the story was tied together very well !

Somewhat muddled at times, but with strong characters such as Pike and Sabada.
I was surprised that, instead of showing Terra’s machines disabled or destroyed, he went right into an epilogues six months later after Sinclair was dispatched.
Perhaps, Sabada who was the only one that could slip into anyone, was able to control those on Terra and get the machines destroyed? It, that was never shown. Only the cryptic, “We still don’t know whose world will be taken”.
