SERIES DESCRIPTION:
A mysterious network of corridors, situated between space and time, are the intersection between countless, starkly contrasting worlds; the battlegrounds where tenacious forces of light and darkness engage in an eternal struggle.

Thse are epic tales; of love, friendship, honour and valour, where Chocolate Labradors are never far from the action and adventures. Geo the Space Explorer and his canine counterparts, offer support and crucial insights in a universe that keeps getting bigger; where magic and the concept of an ‘alien’ is perpetually redefined. Follow key characters, families and dynasties, centre stage to brutal intergenerational conflicts, fight for what they hold dear as fundamental truths are unravelled.
