Publisher's summary

Joey Harker isn't a hero.

In fact, he's the kind of guy who gets lost in his own house. And one day Joey gets really lost. He walks straight out of his world and into another dimension.

Joey's walk between the worlds makes him prey to two terrible forces: armies of magic and science who will do anything to harness his power to travel between dimensions. When he sees the evil those forces are capable of, Joey makes the only possible choice. He joins an army of his own, an army of versions of himself from different dimensions who all share his amazing power and who are all determined to fight to save the worlds.

Master storyteller Neil Gaiman and Emmy Award-winning science-fiction writer Michael Reaves team up to create a dazzling tale of magic, science, honor, and the destiny of one very special boy and all the others like him.

Top of the line

When you remember that the first stories known to man were in the Oral Tradition , we are fortunate to have this author in our generation.

Awesome in every way

Great great narrator. Another cool story from Neil Gaiman’s crazy, creative brain. If the reader is not even remotely familiar with hyper dimensional space or nonEuclidean geometry, I would recommend buying the book so you can see the words as you listen. Oh, and Google up some science stuff 😝

The spirit of Heinlein

Gaiman and Reeves channel early Heinlein and AE Van Vogt in this updated pulp sci-fi adolescent fantasy. There is everything from the kid learning about special powers, steam punk scenes, a reluctant team turned loyal followers...you name it. Great for my 10 year old and it left us eagerly wanting the next book.

Absolutely Superb

Fantastic book with and immersive world. Had me hooked from the first chapter and continued to reel me with each chapter afterward. Great read finished in a day because I couldn't stop.

A story you know, but told very well

Awesome book that nails complex sci-fi. The ending left me wanting. I hope the is a sequel.

A great cosmic adventure!

This is a great stort for all ages! Very fascinating and full of adventure!

I loved this book..

I really didn't enjoys this book a lot. Was a great and fun read! Kept the mind wondering and opened it up to several ideas. Love love loved it!

Multi-Dimensional Travel Adventure

Sliders meets Harry Potter. It's cool. It's light fare, but I enjoyed it even as an adult Sci-Fi Reader. The Narration is nicely done and well paced.

InterWorld: a fun romp through inter-space.

Interworld is a really fun sci-fi adventure. I read this with one of my sons and while it fits its Juvenile category, we both enjoyed it. It contains a really interesting backdrop of a multidimensional universes where the sliver that contains versions with alternate Earth’s is the focus, the Alternative. It plays out well with interesting, if not deep characters. This book is a lot like a good sci-fi summer film; it’s a great, fun ride with quick moving narrative hitting all the right spots for what it’s trying to do for its target audience (and beyond). No Oscars but a lot of fun.

I switched between the Kindle version of this and the Audible version read by Christopher Evan Welch (I do wish the Audible team would get Whispersync for Voice working on their Windows Phone 8 app). Mr. Welch does a fine job with the character’s voice. I think it was a good choice to have him also read the sequel, The Silver Dream.

Love at first read

The narrator was so into the story you could really hear the emotion and it enhanced the great story. I need to know what happens next! One of those books you are sad to finish.
