Sure, most people knew about the mysterious doors that allowed travel to parallel universes - even if they thought they were just myth or science fiction or reserved for the elite and powerful. But today the stories become real for a chosen few.
Would you open the door?
Amanda Harp seemed destined to be a cheerleader in a backwoods Indiana town - or a Russian prisoner of war.
Constance Carter was just your regular mid 21st Century schoolgirl - when she wasn't exploring crashed flying saucers.
Eric Marsh couldn't wait until the arrival of hundreds of magic weapon buyers - unless there was more to magical wars than selling enchanted arrows.
Anton Wulf had downloaded his favorite comic books, started a small war, and life was good - until his dead father told him it was time to leave Orbital Habitat Peggy
Talks-to-Self just wanted some canned hams - until he was captured by the Quartermen, attacked by pygmy elephants and giant rats, and met a dragon.
Rose loved to sit around reading and dreaming of a date with one of the warriors - just an average day for a teen-aged sea scorpion
All six are invited to join the Zone Pioneers in a life of danger and adventure. But before any of that can happen, they've got to reach them.
Strange World is the first in a series of heavily illustrated, reasonably-priced original science fiction novels by respected non-fiction author Donald Saxman.
