Beyond the portal is a universe where space travel is possible. Where humans are hunted. Where murder is legal. When James and Rachael, two teenagers from Earth, become trapped in a parallel dimension, they must integrate in order to survive. New languages, new races, new religions, and a new way of life. Because there's no way home. But some faces will be friendlier than others, and eventually James and Rachael will have to go to war. Because in a connected universe, all manner of life can evolve. And it's anyone's guess who will win.
