Coleman, a 21st Century man, is Earth's first dimensional traveler; however, instead of finding himself on Earth's moon, he awakes in the midst of a foreboding jungle with nothing more than his environmental suit for protection.

He soon learns that his unexpected arrival was no accident and he must learn his purpose for being here.

Some of the
Creatures Encountered
The Gorga
'The gorga came into view, stopped, pawed the ground like an angry bull, and then it charged straight for Coleman.'
The Raster
"Rasters are filthy beasts, but they can carry more than any other creature I know of. It's because they have six legs to support the weight. They are dumb and only need to be pointed in the direction you want them to go. And they won't stop until you tell them to. I've heard of rasters walking right over a cliff, one after another." Myron, the merchant
The Thrice
"They are thrice. They make excellent beasts of burden. These two have pulled these carts for the past six detzamars over some of the most rugged terrain you can imagine." Sestardi Titus, commander of the king's detachment.
The Multipede
"...a colossal multipede skittered out of the undergrowth. It rose half of its body off the ground, towering over the men, its mandibles snapping and its many point-tipped legs wiggling. Coleman faced off against this new deadly foe, slashing with his short sword. His blade struck the huge beast just below its head and glanced off, the giant creature's exoskeleton was as hard as metal armor.'
