    About this series

    Larry Barnes has a remarkable and dangerous power: he can create his own portal through the multiverse. Now he must choose between returning to Earth or saving Terra—and the girl he loves—and discovering his true home.

    In this epic coming-of-age sequel to TERRA, Earth-born Larry Barnes discovers his ability to move through the mulitverse via a portal of his own creation. A powerful and dangerous ability, Larry seeks the council of a priest named Affron, who has the same ability. But when Larry discovers Affron has disappeared from Terra, he risks following him to Elysium, leaving his friend Palta behind.

    Palta, meanwhile, joins the rebellion against the new rulers of Terra, who turn out to be cruel and greedy tyrants while all the time longing for Larry to return to her.

    In pursuing Affron, Larry arrives in a world called Elysium, a refuge for others with the same power, which for many of them has been a mixed blessing. Years have passed, he is a young man now, misses Palta, and knows his family on Earth must think him long dead.

    Larry makes a courageous and risky decision to return to Terra, to rejoin Palta, to fight to return the priests to power and undo the damage of the past. Risking his life for Terra and for Palta, Larry struggles to answer a lifelong question: Where is home?

    Publisher Note: Contains mild violence and is most appropriate for readers 13+. Fans of Octavia Butler, John Dreese, John Birmingham and Marc Stiegler as well as David R. Bernstein will enjoy The Portal Series.

      Trapped in an alternative universe where New England is at war, two young boys must find their way home. But first, they must help New England win the war. Larry Barnes has made a spectacular discovery—an invisible portal to a parallel universe, where Burger King is Burger Queen, cell phones are huge, and his hometown doesn't look anything like the place where he lives. When Larry returns, he tells his best friend, Kevin, who convinces him to re-enter The Portal. What could go wrong? This time, Larry and Kevin enter a world devoid of modern technology, where "America" doesn't exist, and New England is losing a war against Canada and New Portugal. Unable to get back to The Portal, they offer their knowledge to the New England army in order to survive and gain hope of returning home. But when the ambitious lieutenant using their services discovers just how valuable Larry and Kevin's knowledge is, he changes the plan. Publisher Note: Contains mild violence and is most appropriate for readers 13+. Fans of Octavia Butler, John Dreese, John Birmingham and Marc Stiegler as well as David R.

      Back to his normal life, Larry Barnes thinks he'll never again see the Portal—a strange device that took him to a parallel universe—until a beautiful woman appears and begs for his help. The mysterious preacher Larry previously encountered in the parallel universe is in trouble on another world, and only Larry can save him. Against his better judgment, Larry enters the Portal, and finds himself in a desperate battle against a priesthood trying to kill the preacher—and now him. While struggling to defeat the priests and then return home, Larry senses he may have powers he never dreamed of, and that his fate is inextricably linked to the preacher...and the Portal.
