The Inventors
“B.R.Miller pushes boundaries and combines history, science fiction, and fantasy to form a compelling new series.”
This trilogy takes your imagination through multiple dimensions, the present (2020/21), and into Napoleonic Europe as experienced in the “futuristic” third dimension.
Book 1: The Shape of Angels
Editorial review:
“The Shape of Angels weaves history, myth, trauma, and raw human longing into a story that shifts across centuries and dimensions. The book follows Giovanni Romano, an immortal man haunted by a curse, by love, by illness, and by the people who drift in and out of his impossible lifespan. The narrative swings between past and present, giving readers everything from Napoleon's youth to supernatural wars in hidden planes of existence. It feels like an epic puzzle, with each chapter offering a new piece that makes the picture stranger and a lot more compelling…” Read the full review on Amazon.com
2021…
The universe is crumbling. Its fate depends on a child (Adreian Bayne) with a magical heart and a broken body, whose very existence threatens the balance of its six dimensions, time and space.
As the organ propelling Adreian's blood bears a terrible hex, devised by its original host, and mighty demigod, Sil’nei.
Tasked with preventing the universe’s destruction, Sil’nei must shed his guise as Physics Professor Giovanni Romano, and confront Adreian in the past (1804) to silence his (own) beating heart. Thus, destroying himself.
Giovanni realizes the complexity of his assignment after undergoing inter-dimensional time-travel. Upon arriving in the third dimension, he meets a grand opportunity, tempting Giovanni to cement his former empire, and mentor his former incarnation, Napoleon Bonaparte, while exploiting Adreian.
As expected, Giovanni receives opposition from his fellow ‘Inventors’, who seek to arrest his conquests—waging a war between gods and mortal men, with Adreian at its epicenter.
