After a shocking courtroom tragedy, a disturbed Vietnam veteran and the vindictive judge who sent him to prison become an unlikely pair of time travelers in a chaotic multiverse. The fallen angel who rescues them wants to guide them to a radiant new life. But first they must return to the scene of a ghastly crime.

Billy Worster was a naïve teenager ill-prepared for the gruesome realities of war. The sole survivor of a deadly massacre in a Vietnamese jungle, he avoided certain death only because he ran away when the shooting started. Riddled with guilt, he comes home to a dusty Texas farm with post-traumatic stress disorder and the crazy notion that he can fly in and out of parallel worlds.

As Billy struggles with addiction and questions his sanity, he is arrested on a drug charge and ends up in the courtroom of Judge Madeline Johnston, a bitter old judge tormented by a dark secret surrounding her father’s death. She callously tosses Billy into prison, but when a greedy executor files a lawsuit to steal his inherited land, Billy is hauled back to her courtroom in chains, where a stunning twist of fate launches them into the sky on an odyssey of discovery and healing.

Spanning forty years from the jungles of Vietnam through infinite, parallel worlds, Rip the Sky examines how the power of forgiveness can lead us toward a better life, no matter how many worlds we may live in.

This book is a literary odyssey that transports readers into the mesmerizing realm of parallel universes. This novel deftly combines elements of science fiction, fantasy, and philosophy to deliver an immersive and thought-provoking narrative.

The book starts out with some gruesome scenes of the main character Billy and his experiences in Vietnam. But that only reinforces the heart of the story as Billy stumbles upon the extraordinary ability to, in his words, fly. The reader follows along as Billy takes us through a kaleidoscope of realities, each offering its own unique challenges, triumphs, and heartaches.

I think the truth of “Rip The Sky” lies in its exploration of the human condition. I spent time thinking about the complexities of each character, how they identify themselves, and the interconnectedness of all living beings. The multiverse concept is masterfully crafted, offering an array of what-if parallel worlds.

As the narrative unfolds, it challenges conventional perceptions of reality and invites readers to contemplate the boundless possibilities of existence. It’s a profound exploration of the human spirit’s capacity for resilience and growth, using the multiverse as a metaphor for the diverse paths we navigate in our own lives.

Be sure to activate your imagination while reading this book. Pack along your sense of wonder and settle in for the ride.
