BASE: The Edge of Reality

A Sci-Fi Novel About Simulated Reality
"One of the best books I have ever read!"

What if you could live an entire lifetime anywhere, in any era—and then choose another life and begin again?
BASE: The Edge of Reality takes you inside a future where a massive computer complex allows people to enter simulated worlds and experience complete lifetimes of their choosing.
But the journey begins far from that future.
Skyler Anderson is a young tour guide sailing the spectacular Na Pali Coast of Kauai when an impossible rainbow appears and leads him toward something he was never meant to discover.
His search brings him to a secret team of software engineers and scientists working on one of humanity's greatest challenges: interstellar flight.
There he meets Anchor, a brilliant and beautiful astronomer. Their growing relationship pulls Skyler into a world of romance, friendship, hidden technology, a mysterious forest rain hut—and ultimately an adventure that reaches far beyond Earth.
What begins as a mystery in paradise gradually becomes a much larger question:
What if the reality you know isn't the first reality at all?
Somewhere beneath layers of technology, simulated worlds, and human history lies the original Base Civilization—the first civilization from which everything else began.
Skyler is about to discover where it all started.
And once he understands the truth, reality may never look the same again.
A mind-bending science-fiction adventure combining simulated reality, interstellar travel, mystery, island romance, and the search for humanity's true beginning.
Contains sexual and romantic content intended for mature readers.

On Writing BASE
I wrote BASE: The Edge of Reality because I experienced a glitch in the universe. There has been an increased interest in the simulation theory, so I cleaned up the manuscript and published the 2nd addition this year in 2022.
There is a magical trail on the island of Kauai called the Powerline King Kong trail. Ambitious mountain bikers can travel from the North Shore to the South Shore, enjoying giant waterfalls, spectacular mountain views, and wild animals and birds.
One summer, I was biking the Powerline alone when I entered a mysterious vortex—a glitch in reality. I encountered an old Monk flashing across the trail in front of me with a beautiful tiger following close behind. There are no tigers on Kauai. The Monk wore a red robe that alternated from yellow to red.
After crossing, he turned and smiled. Suddenly all was silent—not even the sound of birds. His perfect sparkling white teeth betrayed his age. The tiger glanced at me as well. Then they were gone, and everything was back to normal.
Perhaps being a computer programmer and familiar with Virtual Reality, the abnormalities piqued my curiosity. I knew it was possible that what we think of as reality could be a computer simulation from somewhere in the future. If we live in a simulated reality, I would like to know about the first Base Reality Civilization and those that built the simulator.
The odds against living in a Base Civilization are billions to one. So I set out, in the Novel BASE, to write about how the first civilization might have reached the stars and survived.
