The Astral Trap Series

NETHERBOUND Book 1 of 4 of the Astral Trap Series.

Some vanish into dreams. Others never wake up.

Across the globe, people are slipping into inexplicable comas. No symptoms. No patterns. No way out. Hospitals overflow. The internet swarms with theories. Governments are scrambling, and failing, to contain the fear.

Dr. Millicent Woodrow, quantum physicist, astral explorer, and professional pariah, has seen enough of reality to know this isn’t natural. When her niece becomes one of the afflicted, the search for answers becomes personal… and dangerous.

As the line between consciousness and something far stranger begins to blur, Millicent uncovers a hidden war that could unravel not just lives, but reality itself.

Dark, cerebral, and charged with otherworldly tension, Netherbound is the first book in the Astral Trap Series, a genre-bending thriller where science, shadow, and soul collide.

Firecracker Reads creates bold, fast-paced fiction for busy minds.

CATALYST Book 2 of the Astral Trap Series

“To save her daughter, she must exist where she does not.”

She was just a child.
Until she wasn’t.

Now, she’s appearing in places she never existed, and vanishing from those she once did.

When physicist and astral traveller Dr. Millicent Woodrow hears a scream tear through reality, she knows it’s not just a hallucination, it’s a call. A six-year-old girl named Eva has been erased from an alternate world Millicent once secretly visited. But traces of her are surfacing in other dimensions. Unconnected. Unexplained. Unnatural.

As Millicent sets out to find her, the line between rescuer and creator begins to blur. The girl is more than she seems, and someone, or something, wants to control her.

With interdimensional forces closing in and time itself beginning to splinter, Millicent must navigate collapsing worlds, government secrets, and the terrifying question at the heart of it all:

What happens when a child becomes the signal, and the signal starts calling you back?

Catalyst is a mind-bending journey through quantum grief, fractured identity, and the dangerous power of intention – a sequel to Netherbound and a gateway to something far bigger than one missing girl.

Intense, reality-shifting, and emotionally razor-edged, Catalyst is the second book in the Astral Trap Series, a quantum thriller where identity fractures and intention becomes dangerous.

ORIGINS

Book 3 of The Astral Trap Series

“Some secrets echo across every dimension.”

Millicent Woodrow has spent her life chasing answers about her parents’ death and the dimensional anomalies that haunt her every step. Now, the past finally catches her.

When a forgotten storage locker reveals her father’s hidden life – coded notebooks, warnings from another reality, and an obsidian sphere he meant for her mother – Millicent is thrust into a deeper war than she ever imagined. The Architects are no longer shadows, the Evas are no longer echoes, and the fabric between worlds is tearing.

As Millicent searches for her father across dimensions, dangerous truths rise to the surface. Her family’s history isn’t just unusual, it is central to a cosmic strategy spanning lifetimes. With Sophie at her side, the Impossibles returning to the fold, and Eva calling to her through unstable realms, Millicent must confront the one question she has always feared:

What if the story she believed about her life is the biggest lie of all?

In this third instalment of the Astral Trap Series, loyalty fractures, alliances deepen, and the hunt for Gabriel Woodrow ignites a confrontation that will reshape every reality.

Layered, haunting, and steeped in cosmic mystery, Origins is the third book in the Astral Trap Series, a multi-dimensional conspiracy thriller where family history becomes a battleground.

ASCENSION Book 4 of The Astral Trap Series

“This is not the end of the world. It’s the beginning of all of them.”

The battle for humanity was never about armies. It was about frequency.

The Architects have been exposed. The Dark is rising. And across the world, people are waking to a truth their leaders can no longer contain.

Millicent Woodrow, now merged with Eva’s resonance, becomes the key to a global uprising unlike anything in human history. As twelve Stargate nodes activate and the Architects tighten their grip, Millicent, Gabriel, Levi, and the Impossibles must unite fractured realities, rally hybrid forces, and confront the energy-harvesting entities that have fed on humanity for centuries.

But power comes with consequence.

Visions bleed into waking life, astral armies gather on silent battlefields, and Millicent’s link to her alternate selves threatens to break her open in ways she cannot control.

From Germany’s hidden facilities to the Congo’s ancient pyramids, from celestial portals to the Resonance Chamber itself, the final countdown begins. The Astral Army, the Choir Division, and Humanity First prepare for a frequency shift that will either liberate billions or collapse every timeline at once.

Ascension isn’t guaranteed.
It must be earned.

Epic, high-frequency, and explosively cinematic, Ascension Protocol is the fourth book in the Astral Trap Series, a reality-spanning showdown where humanity’s fate hinges on resonance.
