The Infinity Division series follows a group of teens who have the ability to
travel between dimensions via a very special device. Each place they go is
Earth—generally within their own town of Wells—but a different reality. The
differences are sometimes minor—sometimes monumental.
The best part of doing a series like this is the variety. The setting is always
changing. I can work within the same town, yet have a completely different set
of rules. The characters are always changing. Some of my favorite
moments from Omega are when the main cast encounters alternate versions of
people they knew back home. In some cases they’re so hilariously different. In
other instances, it’s almost heartbreaking.
There’s more dimension hopping—or, skipping, as Cade would say—in
Omega. There are an infinite number of realities, and unlike in Infinity (which
took place solely on Kori’s world), our heroes visit multiple ones in this book.
The ideas for these different realities came to me from various sources. Some
were worlds I’d love to see—like the world where everything was flavored with
chocolate or the one with no cars. Everyone got around on horseback, yet they
were all sporting massive computer tech. Others came from conversations with
friends and family. Like the world where all foodservice jobs were done by
robots or the world where bananas were extinct (No crime there. Sorry banana
lovers). One of my cousins is a vegetarian and we had a lengthy conversation
about what it might be like to live in a world that had outlawed meat, and so
meatless world was born ;)
They weren’t all quirky and harmless. Our heroes wandered into some pretty nasty
places, too—and that continues in book three. But, that’s an entirely different
post ;) There were so many possibilities, so many roads to travel. I enjoyed
each and every second I got to spend with these characters—and I hope you will too!
And I have to admit, I was a little jealous of the gang when they hit chocolate
world…
What about you? If you could live in an alternate version of this world, what’s
one key thing you’d change?
Infinity
Division
One mistake can change everything. Ashlyn Calvert finds that out the hard way
when a bad decision leads to the death of her best friend, Noah Anderson.
Only Noah isn’t really gone. Thanks to his parents’ company, the Infinity
Division, there is a version of him skipping from one dimension to another, set
on revenge for the death of his sister, Kori. When a chance encounter brings him
face-to-face with Ash, he’s determined to resist the magnetic pull he’s felt for
her time and time again. Because falling for Ash puts his mission in danger.
But there’s more going on in Ash’s alternate universe than either of them
knows: a mysterious project called Omega. A conspiracy spanning multiple Earths
and revolving around none other than Ash. Its creators would do anything to keep
Omega secret…
Anything.
