About this ebook

Do you think you could do it? Could you sacrifice the one you love to save the world? Would you sacrifice the world to save your someone?

James’ lungs are on fire as he races back to his ship. The enemy is opening up three wormholes through space and will soon be starting a war on three different fronts. If the enemy heading through door number one reaches their destination unchallenged, they will become too strong to stop. But if James confronts them, Anna could be taken from him forever by the threat moving through door number two. On the other side of door number three, the planet Earth is nearly defenseless and gravely unprepared for a looming and sinister force.

Knowing he can’t be in three places at once, James must decide who to save—and who to sacrifice.

Author

Brian McMickle

BRIAN MCMICKLE, is the author of Nothing Left along with his latest novel, The Expansion Project, a sci-fi thriller that straps the reader’s own imaginarium to a rocket ship and hurls it through the quantum tunnels of space while exploring the adverse effects of mankind no longer being confined to a single corner of the universe.Growing up in Locust Grove, Georgia, Brian acquired a knack for the art of storytelling at a very young age. As a musician, he continued honing his craft through his teens and twenties by writing songs, before finally trying his hand at his first fictional novel in 2009. Brian has an ability to create engaging characters that are crisp and complex, yet familiar. Whether on a cruise ship or in outer space, it is the characters that propel the stories and give the reader a feeling of thumbing through the journal of an old friend.Brian currently resides in Charleston, South Carolina, with his wife and two children working amid the software industry as a Solution Architect.
