The Perils of Quad Overview

Bodi Hawkes is a teenage foster child with a challenging, yet uneventful life—until he starts to inhabit alternate superhuman versions of himself from four other dimensions. As Bodi struggles to make sense of his newfound ability, a young girl named Phoenix Mack becomes inadvertently entangled in his predicament. Together, they seek out a reclusive physicist, Professor Artemis Hill, to help them.

After Bodi demonstrates his powers for the apprehensive scientist, Professor Hill attempts to unravel the mysterious origin of the teen’s power which lies with his estranged father who he now must find. Complications arise when a sinister rival from the professor’s past, Dr. Victor Maddox, steals Professor Hill’s findings. What will the madman do with this information? Can he utilize it to execute his evil plans?

Now, along with his quest to discover the source of his extraordinary gift, Bodi embarks upon an amazing adventure to thwart any evil plans Dr. Maddox may have for his unique talent. But the diabolical doctor won’t go down quietly. What will it take for Bodi, Phoenix, and Professor Hill to overcome The Perils of Quad?

MARVEL/DC Comic Artist Bob McLeod reviews The Perils of Quad!!

"Really enjoyable sci-fi/fantasy. Very well-written and plotted for a first novel. I really wasn't expecting much from this oddly titled book by an author I'd never heard of. But Joglar grabbed me from the first page, the first sentence really, and didn't let go until the last. Every time I had to put it down, I looked forward to finding time to pick it up again. The characters are interesting and likable, it reads very smoothly, and the plot really keeps you turning pages. What a fun ride of a book!"
