The Heisenberg Corollary Gets A Face Lift…!

At last, The Heisenberg Corollary gets the cover I always wanted for it! Not that I disliked Book One’s original blue-green cover–it was a pre-made that I had acquired for the preview I gave out to my subscribers (some of you probably have that!). I never intended for it to become the actual cover, and it was never the one I imagined …

The Audiobook is Now Available!

If you haven’t already heard, The Heisenberg Corollary is now available as an audiobook, through Amazon, Audible, and iTunes! The adventures of Zeke and the Slagmasters are brought brilliantly to life by the talented and enthusiastic William L. Hahn, complete with sound effects that give the experience an old-time radio show kind of feeling! Planning a summer road …

The Heisenberg Corollary: Book One of the Slagmaster Cycles

Cutting-edge science. Bloodthirsty aliens. Can this band of nerdy scientists save the multiverse one dimension at a time?

Brilliant physicist Zeke Travers is on the brink of a scientific breakthrough… and a nervous breakdown. So after the beta test of his interdimensional drive goes off without a hitch, he breathes a sigh of relief. But when an alien warship materializes out of nowhere with guns blazing, Zeke and his team must risk using their invention to jump to a parallel universe.

Uncertain how to return to their native continuum, Zeke’s nerd squad must blind-hop across the omniverse from high-tech galaxies to magic-powered medieval planets. Hunted by ridiculously persistent and savage attackers, Zeke suspects the pursuers are only puppets of a far more shadowy evil. And with every roll of the interstellar dice, he fears they’re falling deeper into its sinister clutches.

Can Zeke uncover the dark force behind the attacks in time to save his crew and avoid interdimensional mayhem?

The Heisenberg Corollary is the first book in the Slagmaster Cycles, a science fiction fantasy mash-up series with an attitude. If you like quirky characters, non-stop action, and geeky pop-culture references, then you’ll love C. H. Duryea’s snarky, laugh-out-loud page-turner.
