Description
An Amazon Bestseller and Top New Release! (November 2023)
Fate is a harsh mistress, and she had Pete Bedauern's number. Marooned in the desolation of a decrepit trailer park, his life a monotonous echo of neglect under the care of a narcissistic single mother, his future looked so dark, he couldn't wear shades. But the explosive arrival of Uncle Si, a figure as enigmatic as he is transformative, knocked Fate senseless and rewrote Pete's future.
Now, Pete is going to need shades.
Uncle Si, marked by life's brutal trials with scars both visible and hidden, is a force to be reckoned with. He is unapologetically raw--a man who's tasted life's extremes, from the depths of despair to the euphoric rush of beating the odds, and escaping Fate's machinations to fight another day. Beneath his gruff exterior and shrouded past, he harbors a profound interest in Pete, offering the paternal attention Pete has long been lacking. Through Uncle Si's guidance, Pete embarks on a profound masterclass on life, love, and full-contact sports.
But Uncle Si is more than just a mentor with worldly possessions and wisdom. He guards a preposterous secret: his clandestine outlaw empire across time and space. Pete steps into the realm of the impossible, catapulted into a time-traveling odyssey toward much more than just manhood. As Pete navigates a labyrinth of alternate realities, he will unravel history's hidden truths, confront a sinister pan-continuum conspiracy, vie for a world championship, decipher the elusive art of success with women, and even save the world.
Well, one world, maybe...
Advance Praise
"""As a man who would one day like to have kids but have not received much fathering, what I've read so far has been quite educational to me. But most importantly, it's been fun.""
""I...am still completely blown away by the scope, concepts, action, and life-changing advice about everything from girls/women to life priorities to you-name-it that I wish I had learned as a teenager and then as a maturing man. You'll...wish the series would keep going when you finally get to 'the end.' I'd give it 6 stars if I could.""
""I'm way, way, way too old for the target demographic for this series (young teen) but I love the story so far, it brings in lots of interesting ideas that have been floating out there in the 'sphere', and it's a good yarn too boot. Well worth the money."""
""This is clearly the beginning of what will be a wild ride. As the description suggests, this reads like the beginning of an epic journey. There's a lot that I could write about. I like where the story is going. I like the time travel component. It's well thought out and executed.
I'll say this: As a man who grew up without fathering and had to figure things out the hard way, I really wish the younger version of me had read this book instead of some of the ones he did grow up reading. This book is way more fun that many of those I read as a kid because, despite it's science fiction plot devices, it's fun and the characterization is believable.""
