The Rift
A coming interdimensional war. A race against time. A thrill ride like no other.
Multimillion-copy bestselling authors Douglas E. Richards and Joshua T. Calvert team up for the first time to deliver an explosive, high-stakes science-fiction thriller, one that will leave you breathless.
Deep in Antarctica, two researchers find an enigmatic black sphere suspended in the heart of a huge crater. Neither man is ever seen again.
Decades later, reality fractures. A Manhattan skyscraper vanishes into thin air. An airplane crashes in the Sahara Desert—its existence defying logic. Across the globe, breathtaking technology and mysterious artifacts appear, all leading to one chilling truth: a parallel Earth is breaching the boundary between realities. And with every artifact that crosses over, the fabric of existence tears further apart.
Enter Dr. James Barron, a man haunted by his past who is thrust into a fight he didn’t choose. As secret organizations and shadowy forces battle to control the growing breach, Barron becomes humanity’s reluctant champion. Can he stop an invasion from a world bent on conquest? Or will the widening rift doom both Earths to annihilation?
The Rift is the electrifying first entry in a trilogy of epic science-fiction thrillers.
