The Kerious Pye series recounts the expeditions of an ancient Order of worldly Explorers. Book One, The Seventeenth Pocket, follows Explorer Arden McGivven. The old voyager receives unexpected attention when he reveals the Order's secrets to help a young patient.

The Bureau has uncovered evidence of the impossible—an invasion from the dimension of matter. Kerious Pye sends four Explorers to stop the plot, but when they come of age at fourteen, they’re already too late. Stranded in matter, they must devise a plan to rescue the dimension of energy. Under siege at the Academy, Matter-Combat Professor Ruskin Fately prepares a highly unusual defense of last resort.
