Introducing the world's first multiplex book: Six stories. One big picture. You've opened books and read stories, but never in your life have you opened anything like this. **Five of the six stories in this book are slightly longer than the e-book version!** Jordan McChivel is sending six stories in simultaneous pieces to the Readers, a mysterious group of people who collect peoples' stories for a top secret project. This issue contains the first chapters of each of these stories. The next issue will contain the second chapters, and the issue after that, the third chapters. Don't worry, it's actually a lot simpler than it sounds. Meet Oliver, who is in love with seemingly the most shallow girl alive. Ryan, who has far more power than he knows. Pacey and Allegra, who are madly in love despite coming from warring families. Jordan, who is the one telling these six stories, but also has a story of his own about living in a world where no natural water exists. Aras, who is so mysterious not even the feds have a clue who he is, where he came from, or why he's been assassinating magnates. And Peter, a sociopathic politician who was just given a way to start World War III. Are you daring enough to step through the front door of a universe that challenges your reality? Then start here.
