Hunters Out of Space

A first-person narrator in Kansas encounters two enigmatic light-entities, Ato and Wolden, and a cold lead box containing the fragmented manuscript of his missing friend, Doctor Jack Odin. Odin’s notes recount a hazardous descent into a vast cavern, a passage into other realms, strange physical phenomena and alien presences, and the assembly and launch of a prototype craft that links dimensions and reaches a moon cavern occupied by a group of explorers. The assembled fragments shift between diary entries and technical jottings, tracing efforts to understand new physics and the moral and practical dangers of probing time-space and contact with unfamiliar intelligences.
