Synopsis

"A high-flying adventure of a novel, filled with ambitious ideas and a breathtaking conclusion." -- The Leighgendarium Hotdog pilot Marcus Powell has been selected to test Taurus Enterprises’ Crossline and its newly developed warp thrusters, which, if successful, will revolutionize space travel as we know it. But during his psychedelic jaunt across the stars, Powell is forced into a parallel universe, where he finds himself at the center of a civil war he may have been destined for all along! Teamed up with a gorgeous, trigger-happy redhead, a pot-smoking Shaman, a crafty pie maker, and a weary soldier who hates his guts, Powell must survive a cross-country rescue mission and his own trippy vision quests long enough for his wife and young daughter to outsmart Taurus’ reclusive CEO, whose own secrets may prevent Powell from ever making it back to Earth. From author Russ Colchamiro, Crossline is a hallucinogenic, action-packed romp across time, space, and dimension that asks the question: once you cross the line, can you ever really go back? "A well crafted, fast-paced chase through the stratosphere." -Thomas O’Callaghan, Author of the John W. Driscoll series "An unbelievably rich cacophony of characters, a deeply intricate plot, and some of the wittiest, realistic dialogue I’ve read in a long while. The sheer magnitude of this story just blows me away. –The Pankhearst Review

About this title

About the Author:

Russ Colchamiro is the author of the raunchy scifi backpacking comedy Finders Keepers, and the pulpy sci-fi adventure Crossline, both from Crazy 8 Press. He claims to be writing the first of two Finders Keepers sequels, but that could just be the galactic delusions talking, given that he was exposed to a jar of the Universe's liquid DNA.

To learn more about Russ and his ongoing tales of cosmic lunacy, you can visit his Web site at russcolchamiro.com, and follow him on Twitter @authorduderuss, Facebook facebook.com/RussColchamiroAuthor. and Goodreads.

He is married with two children, and lives in West Orange, New Jersey. But if he suddenly vaporizes before your eyes and reconstitutes in another part of town, don't take it personally. It's just how he is.
