SLADE CHRONICLES: RIFTWALKER is the
story of Jacob Slade, a seemingly ordinary man
who is plagued by a series of nightmares in which
he must fight a super powered madman for the
fate of the world!  Except, he discovers that
they aren't nightmares.  They're real.

   Welcome to the multiverse.  Our planet is one
out of thousands of Earths, each distinctive and
layered upon each other just out of our range of
perception.  The only thing connecting our worlds
is The Chain, an invisible energy that links us to
the other Earths’ counterparts.  What each of
the counterparts does affects us.  That dream
you had last night where you were falling and
awoke in bed?  Sadly, it really happened
elsewhere.  The dream was the final release of
life-energy from the one of you that fell, riding
The Chain to each of you that remain.  There is,
however, one individual unique in all the
multiverse.  He is called The Nexus, and he has
no counterparts on other worlds.  Instead, all of
our energy ties off to him.  He is a sort of
lynchpin, keeping the order of the multiverse,
albeit unknowingly.  Unfortunately, someone has
discovered The Nexus and is trying to use him as
a weapon.  Now enter The Shadowcorps, a
covert agency charged with the protection of all
of our worlds.  They have outposts on each
parallel Earth and answer to no one but
themselves.  Few people know that the multiverse
exists, outside of The Shadowcorps agents
themselves and a handful of people deemed as
mentally unstable conspiracy theorists.  The
Shadowcorps almost exclusively recruit fans of
sci-fi, fantasy, gaming and comics into their
ranks, as these individuals can suspend disbelief
enough to process the insanity of what they
encounter daily in the agency.  Once again The
Shadowcorps have to put the genie back into the
bottle.  If they fail, it could mean the end of
our world.  This brings us to their newest
recruit, Jacob Slade, and whether he knows it or
not, he is the multiverse's last hope.  For the
fifth time.
