TIM PRATT at Books Inc. Opera Plaza

The Jewel and the Comet is a quirky space opera featuring charming characters and sarcastic spaceships. Perfect for fans of Seven Devils.
About the Book: Glenn is a normal graduate student (aside from his kinkiness and genderfluidity), living a normal life with his normal girlfriend, Vivy. Until he finds out that Vivy isn’t as ordinary as he thought – she’s a spy for an interdimensional agency.
After a cruel twist of fate, Vivy gets called away on a scouting trip to stop a rogue comet, and Glenn finds himself pulled away from his normal life and on an adventure he never asked for, having to navigate the multiverse with only a snarky starship as his guide.
Set on two separate missions, both Glenn and Vivy must face dangerous foes – with Glenn battling an evil cult leader with a limitless supply of power, and Vivy trying to recover a stolen jewel that can devastate entire universes.
Their paths will cross again, but first they must recover the jewel, stop the cult, and avoid a full-blown war with aliens from neighbouring realities, all while navigating their own interpersonal issues.
A humorous and thrilling space opera with a hint of romance that will have readers on the edge of their seats and rooting for the characters, despite all the odds stacked against them.
