About This Book

A scientist fashions a complex electromagnetic tube that opens into a fifth-dimensional realm of golden cities, tree-fern jungles, and primeval beasts; he, his daughter, and a companion travel through it but are jeopardized by an assistant’s betrayal that attracts criminal interest. Stranded visitors confront hostile ragged natives and monstrous fauna, fight to survive in marsh and jungle, and witness uncanny signs such as exotic smells and a spreading Death Mist. Back on Earth, unexplained jewels and bizarre creature sightings hint that the experiment’s consequences ripple beyond the laboratory, mixing scientific daring with peril and unexpected collateral effects.
