Overview

What do you do when you're given advance notice that your planet is about to be inducted into a System in thirty days? Strange arches show up all over the world, and no-one quite knows what's going on, although theories abound. Mike and his grandfather, Collin, try to investigate one of these arches. With the announcement that the training offered will take place on a planet already inducted into the System, Mike loses hope. Collin comes through, surprising Mike with a gold Krugerrand that will allow him to pass through the portal to train. The training is simple, but brutal, and one of the trainers, a rather unruly orc, seems to take an unhealthy interest in Mike. The conflict between the two has Mike fleeing into the forest outside of the Safe Zone used for training, a forest that is full of monsters, ruins, and more. By the time Mike makes it home, he's gained a class, a group, and has grown in power more than most of the trainees taking the safer route with the trainers. Things on Earth are falling apart, with riots and burning cities from the panicking people who stayed home. Mike and his group have trained for this, now it's time to put that training to work.

Author Information

Tom Larcombe was introduced to fantasy books at a young age. Those that were aimed more at children hooked him in, but not well enough for him to remember their names at this point in his life. Their draw led him to books aimed more for the adult reader and so he found himself, at around age eight, starting in on Steven R. Donaldson's Thomas Covenant series and The Hobbit, followed shortly thereafter by the Lord of the Rings books. His reading tastes have never looked back, although they have broadened to include science fiction and the occasional nonfiction book. He lives in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with his wife, two daughters, three cats, and a variable number of chickens. Audie-nominated narrator Neill Thorne brings a storyteller's heart and a conversational style to his narration, whether it is delivering the exciting action of a space adventure, exhibiting the snarky sarcasm of a wise-cracking detective story, or conveying emotional intensity in a modern drama. A native Southerner who has studied five languages, Neill has a knack for accents, giving authenticity and depth to his reading.
