Books in Strange World series

From the author of the #1 bestseller, “Europa Journal”Welcome to Stranger World!!! A place where homicidal monarchs reign, ravenous dinosaurs roam, flying steamships rule the sky, and the tea parties are enough to drive a Hatter Mad. A combat helicopter pilot killed in action, a French microbiologist arrives from a far-flung future, and an accountant from the groovy 70’s, all awaken into this amazing yet sinister world with no memory of how they arrived or how to return to their own time. They are soon joined by a snarky "Leftenant", desperate to reclaim her lost airship, a friendly gargoyle who may or may not eat cats, and an enigmatic Lamppost Man, who, despite his nasty habit of getting everyone into trouble, just may be… the key… to everything. “The lines of imagination and reality have never been so blurred as in the amazing yet sinister theme parks so creatively envisioned by Jack Castle!” -The Spokesman Review"For nearly a decade, Jack Castle has been crafting thrilling adventures for my theme park and guiding millions of guests through them. So, it comes as no surprise his talent as a storyteller has expanded to thrill readers worldwide through his Stranger World series!" -Gary Norton Owner of the largest theme park in the NorthWest

Real or imagined, historical or fantasy: it doesn’t matter, pick any story-world you like. What could possibly go wrong? Hard to believe the end of the world all began in a cubicle, with a sweet, unassuming Creationeer, named Lisa Burton. "I am so fired."
