American pilot Marcus Powell is testing the Crossline prototype craft in deep space when he is suddenly forced through a mysterious wormhole and into a parallel Universe — including a parallel Earth — where he finds himself at the heart of a civil war he may have been destined for all along.
So marks the return of author Russ Colchamiro in his latest pulpy science fiction romp. From Crazy 8 Press (336 pgs., $14.99 tpb),Crossline is the follow-up to Colchamiro’s debut novel Finders Keepers, the hilarious sci-fi backpacking comedy which Publishers Weekly called “a strong debut… with style and panache … from a very imaginative writer.”
“Crosslineis a classic sci-fi yarn reinvented through the wonderfully twisted mind of Russ Colchamiro,” said Crazy 8 Press founding member and New York Times best-selling author Peter David. “We had been looking for the right author to join our team, and after reading Finders Keepers, we knew we had a creative madman in our midst. Keep an eye on Russ. He has a huge career ahead of him. We can’t wait to see what he comes up with next.”
Crossline teams Powell with a gorgeous, trigger-happy rebel leader, a pot-smoking Shaman, a crafty pie maker, and a weary soldier who hates his guts on a cross-country rescue mission that takes him farther and farther from his ultimate goal — returning safely to his family. Yet back home, Powell’s wife and young daughter are racing against the clock to outsmart the corporate executives who privately funded and launched the Crossline flight — and whose own agendas may prevent Powell from ever making it back alive.
“Russ Colchamiro is the king of the comedic sci-fi Bildungsroman. Funny as hell.”
— David Mack, New York Times bestselling Star Trek author
“Blending sci-fi and comedy [is a] difficult feat. Russ Colchamiro makes it look easy.”
— Robert Venditti, New York Times bestselling author of ‘The Surrogates’
“Crossline is clever, witty, and relentlessly trippy.”
— Chris Millis, author/screenwriter of ‘Small Apartments’
Russ Colchamiro is the newest writer to publish with Crazy 8 Press, an author consortium led by Peter David, and includes award-winning and multi-genre authors Michael Jan Friedman, Robert Greenberger, Glenn Hauman, Aaron Rosenberg, and Howard Weinstein.
