Kyan Green Battles the Multiverse

Kyan Green Battles the Multiverse is the second in the series of this cool, contemporary and futuristic adventure featuring Kyan Green and his crew of multiverse hopping gamers. Think Jumanji with a sci-fi , techno twist.

After the discovery of a battered old racetrack game in the attic, Kyan has discovered the amazing parallel universes that lie behind the boardgame when he is sucked into another dimension. Along with his friends, he is now one of the Infinity Racers, taking part in high-speed races and trying to defeat his nemesis in every universe (a nemesis that, every single time, is a version of his own world's unpleasant, menacing and corrupt landlord, Mr Stringer).

Book 2 see the fast, furious pace of the story continue. We find Kyan, at the story start, already in action in another reality, racing electric, "Bubble Butt" cars inside giant cereal bowls and trying to avoid an outsized, monstrous version of Mr Stringer. Their Cosmic Connection means that, in every single of the almost infinite multiverses, survival is always going to be down to battle of Good V Evil ( versions of Kyan v versions of scheming, sneaky Stringer).

The fantastical universes are full of unique surprises (such as riding giant cockroach like bugs rather than race cars) and realities twist and turn at speed.  In Kyan’s original world, however, there are twists and turns of a more emotional type, as friendships shift and change and Kyan and best friend Luke find themselves straining to connect and taking different paths.

Action-packed and full of drama, with a huge helping of adrenaline and adventure, these stories have sleekly modern, sc-i fi settings but are also packed with heart, relatable family, friendship and real life challenges.
