Empire Chain — Tricia Owens

When Noah Quinn failed to become the first teenager in space, he resignedly joined a young men's leadership program at sea as a consolation, telling himself at least he would be heading for the Caribbean. However, although the ship would be sailing through the Bermuda Triangle, he never expected that he and his friends would be sucked into another world where men are machines and an evil conglomerate seeks to kill him and the strange young man named Rosen whom Noah can't seem to stay away from. Empire Chain is a fantasy/steampunk m/m adventure with touches of Lovecraftian horror.
