Incursion
(excerpt)

When the first holes ripped in the fabric of reality and the first interlopers appeared, looming out of the sudden unseasonable fog like mountains or wayward aircraft, no one knew what to expect. The world was not braced. There had been no warning—

(or if there had been warning, it had been too diffuse to help. In the months and years to come, people would point to a dozen possible causes for the disaster, each as likely and reasonable as any of the others. A record-breaking particle accelerator had been turned on in Siberia; a long-range space mission had returned to Earth; several solar storms had caused massive electromagnetic disruptions; a mathematician working in hyperspatial mathematics intended to map the movement of parallel dimensions had logged multiple breakthroughs within the weeks leading directly up the event. None of these incidents were conclusive, and none of them could ever be proven connected)

—and no way to predict the event. One moment, nature had laws and generally followed them, unenforced and unpoliced. One moment, everything was normal. The next, physics and mathematics were negotiable things, and the supposed laws that had always governed biology were shattered beyond all repair.

From Publishers Weekly:

“The latest from bestseller Grant (after Kingdom of Needle and Bone) reads as a labor of love—or a bit of a lark, really. Grant (a pen name for Seanan McGuire) experiments in the vein of Alan Moore’s Watchmen by drawing on mid-century comics and pulps, updating the tropes, and making no bones about politics… As in any pulp escapade, pace and spectacle matter significantly more here than logic or nuance, but readers who go in with expectations properly adjusted will find a satisfying, light adventure.”

From Library Journal:

“Popular sci-fi horror author Grant (Into the Drowning Deep) presents an intense page-turner that features two sisters in Evanson, IL, as they are swept up in the next earth-shaking disaster after a pandemic. Huge Godzilla-like monsters step out of them… this is a fast-paced and entertaining novella that’s perfect for fans of cosmic horror.”
