High in their mountain watchtower, testing a new device for tracking aircraft, Carl Halleck and his wife, Sylvia, saw blips on their radar screen that signaled the approach of Unidentified Flying Objects. They signaled Captain Zachary Halleck, back at the farmhouse, to turn off all power… immediately! Zack recognized those blips, quickly turning into green dots, drawing closer to the isolated secret Air Force research station. They were exactly the same objects Zack had encountered earlier while test piloting the latest jets for the USAF.

Now he would learn the answer to the eternal riddle, find Carl and Sylvia or join them in oblivion, joining that journey where the first stopping point was Earth - a million years in the future. Here is a story in the tradition of the wonderful “voyages” and inventive daring of Jules Verne, combined with the cosmic sweep of Olaf Stapledon. Here there are no sword-swinging heroes, captive princesses or extraordi more...
