The sequel sequel, ''The Silver Dream'' was released April 23, 2013, 2013. The author credits are somewhat muddled, but it was essentially written by Mallory Reaves (Michael Reaves' daughter), as the elder Reaves was battling Parkinson's disease and was name ''Interworld: The Silver Dream''. It too ill to write it, and Gaiman was too busy. This book revolves around Joey Harker once again, however he and his team meet a mysterious girl, who calls herself Acacia Jones. After going on a mission to save a new Walker, and retrieve data from the clutches of Binary the plot thickens.

Five Man Band is undergoing a wick-cleaning project, so zero-context examples, roles with little to no context, examples lacking context on a team dynamic or what the team does, and examples featuring groups of more than five, will be deleted.

* FiveManBand: Joey's team of six is kinda this.
** TheHero: Joey himself, due to being the protagonist as well as having the "greatest potential as a Walker".
** TheLancer: Varies. Usually, it's Jakon, Jai, or Jo, as they all seem to be capable of being "second in command". May also be J/O, due to his kinda snarky nature.
** TheSmartGuy: Both Jai (SesquipedalianLoquaciousness as well as psychic powers) and J/O, due to having an immense amount of knowledge ([[ChekhovsSkill such as advanced swordfighting]]) uploaded into his brain.
** TheBigGuy: Josef. Coming from an Earth with more than twice the gravity of "our" Earth, he's quite large and muscular.
** TheChick: Sometimes Joey, due to the rest of his teammates having some special ability.
** TeamPet: Hue the mudluff. He (or she, it's hard to tell with multi-dimensional beings) even has a habit of floating a foot or two above Joey's shoulder.

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved
* MirrorCharacter: Hex and Binary have the same goals, abilities, and treat humans like animals. For example, one Hex wants to boil down the Walkers' bodies until only their soul are left; the other wants to slowly drain out his energy over the same period while keeping him in cold storage.

A 2007 ScienceFiction novel by NeilGaiman and Michael Reaves about Joey, a boy who finds out the hard way that he is a "Walker", meaning he can jump between the many [[AlternateUniverse alternate universes]]. The good news: no EvilTwin. The bad news: not one, but two [[EvilEmpire Evil Empires]] trying to take over the multiverse. Long story short, Joey ends up joining an inter-universal army whose mission is to keep neutral realities safe in the war of MagicVersusScience.

!!This book provides examples of:
* AcidTripDimension: The world inbetween universes is described as this.
* AllTheMyriadWays: Every choice with results creates a new reality where the opposite action was taken. Minor events do not spawn new realities, or if they do, the new reality fades away rapidly.
* AlternateUniverse: Hundreds of thousands of them, from slight shift of timeline (where Joey dies from a dare) to ''the evolution of human beings'' being different.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Hue helps out Joey because Joey saved its life in the beginning.
* BigBad: [=DogKnife=], leader of Hex army.
* ButterflyOfDoom: Only major changes cause new realities to form, but major changes can be caused by seemingly minor actions. As described in the book, if a butterfly can eventually cause a hurricane, then stepping on the butterfly before it can flap its wings might be enough to split reality.
* ChekhovsSkill: The winged Joey can use her wings to slow herself and someone she is carrying down while falling, even if she's on a world where she can't fly.
* TheChosenOne: It turns out that [[spoiler:all of the Walkers are the Joeys from different realities, even the ones that are older or women]].
* {{Cyborg}}: One of the Walkers comes from a world where everyone is cyberized at birth.
* DepthDeception: Due to existing beyond the usual 4 dimensions, nobody can be certain just how large [=MDLFs=] are.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: At one point, Scarabus summons a dragon to attack the team.

* TheMagicVersusTechnologyWar: A war that has been going on for a long time. However, most realities are non-aligned regardless of where they fall on the spectrum.

* MesACrowd: Well, they're all from an AlternateUniverse, but they're all the same person.

* NightmareFuel: The {{Mook}} Neville has transparent skin, in addition to being an unpleasant person.
* NoSenseOfDirection: Joey has gotten lost in his own house. Turns out that it's because his brain isn't wired for three-dimensional travel.
* NotSoDifferent: Hex and Binary have the same goals, abilities, and treat humans like animals. For example, one Hex wants to boil down the Walkers' bodies until only their soul are left; the other wants to slowly drain out his energy over the same period while keeping him in cold storage.

* SpacePolice: Well, inter-reality police, but functions in much the same way.
* TheSpartanWay: How [=InterWorld=] members are trained.
* TimeDilation: Time does not pass the same way on all realities, and results in both RipVanWinkle and YearOutsideHourInside. The [=InterWorld=] organization has some control over the effects when leaving the In-Between.
* TookALevelInBadass: Joey, after months of training. In addition to being physically strong, he's been taught such advanced science and math that he goes from being a remedial student to one of the best. [[spoiler:Since this is after the MindWipe, he has no idea why he can suddenly do so well]].
* WingedHumanoid: One of Joey's teammates has angel-like wings. Since they function by magic, they tend not to work well on the more science-y worlds.
* YearOutsideHourInside: When Joey returns to his world after months of training [[spoiler:and having his memory erased]], only about 36 hours have passed.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Joey can never return to his home dimension, lest HEX or The Binary track him there and attempt to take over, possibly killing his family in the process.
