LOS ANGELES, July 29, 2016 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- What began

The Tinker and The Fold – Part One: The Problem with Solaris
3, published by Laguna Lantern Publishing in 2015, has drawn
attention for its daring young teenage protagonist, mind-blowing
array of bizarre and deadly alien creatures, a well-thought-out
plot and heart-stopping action sequences. The Tinker and
The Fold- Part Two: The Rise of the Boe, is scheduled to be
published on September 27, 2016 and
will be available for pre-order at the end of August, 2016.
The first book is currently available in all formats via
Amazon.
"The idea germinated over the course of some long car rides and
became a wonderful opportunity to create a whole universe with my
son, Evan, while teaching him that with a little effort every day,
you can do big things." says the elder Gordon, who is a prolific
reader of science fiction and loves to attend Comic-Cons with all
three of his children as cosplayers. By day, Gordon is an
executive at a solar energy company in Anaheim, CA, and is a published author on that
subject.
"Working with my dad has been such a great experience, me
bringing the imagination and characters to life and him making sure
that everything fits together and makes sense. It's an amazing
feeling to know what we've accomplished," adds Evan.
The Tinker and The Fold is the story of Jett
Joseph Javelin Junior, an eighth grader, whose scientific tinkering
attracts the attention of The Fold, an extraterrestrial federation,
tasked with keeping peace in the galaxy. When The Fold comes
to collect him, Jett's life is thrown into chaos. From alien
abductions, to life in Tower 100, to becoming a castaway on
Lanedaar 3 and savior to the Boonans, to flooding the White House
with living alien pom-poms that eat everything in sight, Jett's
adventure to save Earth from The Neutralization Protocol and
integrate it into The Fold is fraught with peril and surprises.
Of the first book, Kirkus Review wrote: "The fleet
narrative never has any dead spots and boasts a clever range of
aliens of all shapes, sizes, and appendages. It also has just the
right balance of tongue-in-cheek (when a life form happens to have
a tongue or a cheek) and serious elements when it comes to
pondering moral issues and dilemmas. There is, naturally, a
cliffhanger finale to draw readers into the next installment.
Fun YA galactic romp that is not without its thoughtful side."
