AlbakiReads Editorial

Two missions across a multiverse

Glenn’s ordinary graduate-student life is disrupted when Vivy, his girlfriend and an agent for an interdimensional agency, leaves to investigate a rogue comet. Their separation opens onto two connected strands of danger: Glenn confronts a powerful cult leader while navigating the multiverse with a sarcastic starship, and Vivy seeks a stolen jewel capable of devastating entire universes. The setup pairs cosmic-scale threats with a relationship at a distance, and its comic science-fiction details include a snarky ship and characters whose private lives are part of the premise. The story also foregrounds Glenn’s genderfluidity alongside the couple’s unconventional desires.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in humorous space opera and multiverse adventures.
  • Readers who enjoy science fiction that includes romance and a couple facing separate dangers.
  • Readers seeking stories featuring a genderfluid protagonist and characters with unconventional desires.

Book overview

A quirky new space opera featuring charming characters and sarcastic spaceships. Perfect for fans of Seven Devils.

A witty and thrilling space opera with a touch of romance from the author of The Knife and the Serpent.

Glenn is a normal graduate student (aside from his kinks and genderfluidity), living a normal life with his normal girlfriend, Vivy (a spy for an interdimensional agency with her own kinks).

When Vivy is called away on a scouting trip to stop a rogue comet, Glenn finds himself pulled from his normal life into an adventure of his own, navigating the multiverse with only a snarky starship as his guide.

Glenn and Vivy are far apart, facing dangerous foes; Glenn battling an evil cult leader with a limitless supply of power, and Vivy trying to recover a stolen jewel with a serious attitude, a jewel that can devastate entire universes. Kinks there may be, but is there a link?
