About This Book

A charter pilot, his passenger, and the passenger's young secretary are hurled out of normal space into an uncanny, shifting medium that confounds instruments and leaves the passenger unconscious. As they assess the ship's strange readings and eerie vistas, the pilot grows suspicious of heavy, sealed cases stowed in a locked vault and of the passenger's true nature. The story traces their practical efforts to protect the vessel, probe the anomaly, and unravel the secret cargo while tension mounts from unknown forces and the danger of being stranded beyond familiar space.
