Hopjockey is an adventure/comedy that takes place on the campus of Pacific Northwest University. It is the story of Sandy, a hopjockey by accident, who becomes the target of every dimension-hopping baddie everywhere when he gets the map of the universe stuck in his head.
What is a hopjockey? Basically, a traveler between worlds, a backpacker across dimensions. How do you become one? Either you're born a genius -– an Einstein or a Da Vinci -– and figure it out yourself, or they find you. On campus, they're a secret society, a Skull and Bones deal. They protect the campus against visitors from elsewhere, and close the white circles, the doors between dimensions.
Back in 1973, the smartest student PNU had ever seen -- a big brain named Jim -- blew himself apart with an atom smasher. That's when the cluster of white circles appeared on campus. It's also when the Many Jims -– the fragments of the One True Jim -- rained down across the dimensions. If Sandy wants to be a normal kid, he'd better find and close all the white circles with the rest of the hopjockeys before the Many Jim's can put the One True Jim back together.
