A young man looking for his girlfriend-that's all Nigel Renoir thought he was. He had no idea, however, that he was a son of two worlds and a vital part of three. He didn't know how or why his journey would encompass so many different people, starting with a decorated old warrior who was trying to save a world already lost, desperately hoping to accomplish a mission that didn't seem to matter anymore. So many lives were about to be upended: from the citizens of the United Federation of American States to a gray world where all states and countries had become the same just to survive. The things Nigel did throughout the long years would affect them all if he just could find a way to walk out of the Sand Ridge Asylum of the Criminally Insane, located on an Earth that he'd never even been born on. All he'd tried to do was find his dear Angeline, but what he wound up doing started a conflict that would come to be known as the Crossover Wars. Maybe he should've listened to what his old Pop was always telling him: "Folks may not always look where they're goin', boy, but they always gonna go where they're lookin' . . ."
