My lack of experience with previous volumes wasn&#8217;t seem an issue and the book stood on its own fine.<\/p>\n<p>Wilken and Alice are at home in Warrensberg, Minnesota, (aka Dorkville) when they are rather abruptly whisked away to the &#8220;Flipside&#8221; of outer space. Seems another EOE (End of Everything) event is at hand, and Wilken has been tasked to prevent it. Alice Jane discovers she&#8217;s been (incorrectly) declared dead, and sets off on a quest that will eventually have her team up with Wilken.<\/p>\n<p>Their adventure takes place on an ancient, planet-sized spaceship undergoing a millennia long war. With the help of some cryptic scripture, they have to stop the black hole, end the war, and save the universe.<\/p>\n<p>Alice Jane is a seventeen year-old somewhat super powered fashion aficionado who takes no guff. Sixteen year old Wilken is a rather timid fellow who somehow ends up as the not-so-secret &#8220;secret&#8221; hero (followed by a news crew) who will save the universe. Their adventures eventually bring them together in a control room where they have one last chance to save everything.<\/p>\n<p>The fast-paced story is delivered in chapter that alternate between Wilken&#8217;s and Alice Jane&#8217;s point of view. This is a rather raucous and sometimes ridiculous&#8211;but always enjoyable&#8211;humorous adventure. I imagine it would appeal even more to its target age group of around 12-15.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Genre: Science Fantasy Publisher:\u00a0 Darkwater Syndicate Published: 2017 Reviewer Rating:\u00a0 Reviewer: David L.
