Charlie and the Space Rifts

A Sci-Fi Adventure Through Time, Trouble, and Twisting Galaxies
By Robin Wickens

What if you could open a portal to anywhere in the universe?

Charlie didn't mean to activate the ancient alien Rift Generator. He was just trying to avoid another boring day at school.

But when stars bend, worlds collide, and secrets buried deep in the galaxy come to light, one thing is clear: Charlie’s ordinary life is about to become extra-ordinary.

Now aboard the starship Odyssey, with a crew of misfits and a malfunctioning AI, Charlie must leap through unstable rifts in space-time, dodge a very grumpy Galactic Council, and unlock the true power of the Rift Generator—before it unlocks something much worse.

Every rift is a risk. Every leap could change everything.
And the universe? It’s much bigger than anyone imagined.
