The Item of Monumental Importance: Max and the Multiverse, #4

By Zachry Wheeler

Dip your toes into the award-winning book series!

 

Max shifts between parallel universes whenever he falls asleep. A curious affliction, especially for a nerdy teen tasked with a holy quest.

 

Max awakes to a wondrous realm with dragons, elves, and a highly munificent genie. However, the lands have been corrupted by a dark and deadly magic. Max and his merry crewmates must save the kingdom by braving an endless barrage of fantasy tropes.

 

 

Max and the Multiverse is a Readers' Favorite® 5-Star Selection and a Global Ebook Awards Gold Medal Winner

 

"One of the finest pieces of sci-fi satire I have ever read." —Eric Michael Craig, Rivenstone Press

 

"In my opinion, Zachry Wheeler is the heir apparent to Douglas Adams." —Ben Ragunton, TG Geeks

 

"A roller coaster of a trip, fast-paced and filled with excitement." —Geoff Habiger, Readers' Favorite

 

"A delightful tour de farce! Brilliantly absurd and absurdly brilliant." —Victor Acquista, Podfobler Productions

 

"Holy smokes! Wheeler is the funniest living author I've read." —S. Shane Thomas, Science Fantasy Hub

 

 

Max and the Multiverse Shorts are stand-alone adventures that began as book chapters. Not every parallel universe will make it into the series, but some are funny enough to spawn their own stories. These are those stories, and I hope they make you laugh as hard as I did.

A tiny freighter vessel sailed through the big black empty near Alioth, a star in the tail of Ursa Major. Inside the cockpit, a pair of orange-skinned females studied a hologram star map floating above the console. A human teen gazed over their shoulders with a hand on each headrest, trying his best to fake some foresight. Zoey and Perra wore leathery duds suitable for nightclubs and pirate ships. Max, on the other hand, looked as if a cosplayer had wandered onto an actual spaceship by mistake.

The glowing star map painted their faces with a warm yellow sheen. A red line zigzagged from the Milky Way over to the neighboring Leo Group, a small cluster of dwarf galaxies. The nav computer calculated a time and distance, which it proudly displayed like a toddler with a crayon portrait.

Perra cringed. That’s a long way for a resupply.

Yeah, but we can get everything we need at Durangoni, Zoey said. It would save us multiple trips and the PCDS always has work there.

True. Plus, it would be funny to watch the Earthman’s head explode.

Zoey chuckled.

What’s that supposed to mean? Max said.

You’ll see when we get there. Zoey tossed him a smirk.

Perra reached overhead and patted his cheek. "In the meantime, get some
