The Book in the Loft

The Book in the Loft is the first in a sci-fi/fantasy series. The story involves the discovery of an incredible book, the powers of which allow the hero to travel from Earth to any of a hundred different worlds. But only one holds his interest, as it is to that world he must travel to find his grandfather, who mysteriously disappeared. Arriving through time and space, he is told by five "beings" he must fulfill a mission - about which he supposedly agreed to on Earth, but in fact knows nothing about - to end the "darkness" he will find himself in. He is not alone in his quest that takes him into battles in space and on alien planets. But to succeed, and to obtain the love he desperately seeks, he must travel back and forth through the powers of the book, not knowing if "time" will be his staunch ally or his bitter enemy.
