The Universe Cracked: The Sequel (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781836153528)

Sequel to The Universe Blinked: What happened next.

Nineteen Clariziane elite space pilots and two teenage girls leave their world in a stolen alien spaceship to go in search of their friend commander Sol Nussar, lost on a routine reconnaissance mission near the edge of their galaxy. What they didn't expect was having to negotiate a fractured parrallel universe tearing itself apart. Time line distortions and space twisting out of alignment hampered their journey. A rift in the space time continuum caused by the Clanzianes allowed other beings to pass through from the other side causing major disruption and an imbalance in the universe which escalated the problem with a chain of events that was going to have a devastating effect on the very existence of life in the two universes. The universe had one hell of a hissy fit before it blinked in frustration, that only compounded its own demise. It was angry at the intrusion from the parallel universe.

On plant Utopia, living a quiet idyllic life for the last fifteen years, the survivors of the ill-fated earth space rescue ship Retriever-2 were about to have their lives turned upside down when they realise they must return to their universe and journey back in time in order to rescue friends. Then somehow find a way to repair the broken universe for a second time. Aliens who did not belong there had to be returned to their own universe, before the rifts could be closed permanently. Then fix the cracks.

Ultimately, it was down to the chosen ones to fulfil their destiny, complete the mission and repay the debt for their lives on Utopia. The universe could only help so much, in the end the Utopians had to work it out themselves. They were on their own, but something or someone was guiding their future.
