The 6 Voyages of Lone Sloane
It's been 800 years since a catastrophic event called the "Great Fear". Lone Sloane, a rebel and a troubled space traveller, is captured by an entity called "He Who Seeks", after his spaceship is destroyed. The entity transports him to different dimensions, where he must fight for his life as he finds himself caught in an intergalactic struggle between space pirates, gigantic robots, dark gods and other-dimensional entities.

Lone Sloane: Delirius
Lone Sloane is still stuck on the planet aptly named Delirius. He seems destined to battle against evil in this world. As the world is called to war, will he be able to stay away? His adventures will force Lone Sloane to accept his destiny and prepare himself for the battle with his enemy, the tyrant Shaan, the Emperor of all the galaxies.

Lone Sloane: Gail
Following on from his adventures in Lone Sloane: Delirius, Sloane finds himself captured and sent to a prison planet, where a mysterious dark entity has plans for him. How did he get here, and can he escape? Wandering aimlessly throughout an alien dimension, Sloane is lost with no way of finding his way home.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Critical reception highlights the set's intense themes and distinctive art: Ninth Art Delights describes it as "a damning take on individual greed, people's complicity in the power plays and chaos of politics and how easy it is for law and order breakdown." The GWW praises the visual style as "a portion of your most wildest lucid dreams would be the closest comparison," with art that is "delirious leaning towards a state of wild excitement or ecstasy."
