About This Book

Three people waiting on a New York subway platform are seized by a thunderous infra-bass and a shimmering green net that launches them through a disorienting interdimensional voyage to a manufactured enclosure under twin purple suns. They find alien ground, strange spiky vegetation, and transparent force-sheets forming a confinement whose mechanical details defy Earthly science. The narrative follows their struggle to comprehend unfamiliar technologies and atmospheres, their encounter with the reclusive scientist Zehru who oversees the installation, and their attempts to survive and learn the purpose of the alien environment.
