Jeffy Coltrane had his wife Michelle leave him 7 years ago. He has their daughter Amity and she's 12 years old. They love fantasy books and spend a lot of time reading together and talking about them. They don't live life without doing the tings they love. Amity and her mouse Snowball and spending time on the beach. They live what you would call a normal life.
Ed or what Amity calls him 'spooky Ed,' shows up on the doorstep and talks to her dad. Something is a little strange about this guy. He seems to be always looking over his shoulder and never comes tell after dark. Ed, begins to tell Jeffy about something that doesn't even make any since to him. He asks him to take this box and hide it somewhere, where no one will find it and if he doesn't come back for it in a week. He's to take it and throw it in the ocean after barrowing it in concrete. Ed, then leaves.
Jeffy doesn't know what the hell is going on and he takes the box in the house. Puts it in his office when, Amity comes in and asks him what it is. Jeffy, is a little curious about it himself. Even though he was told not to open it, he does. Its some kind of cellphone or something like that. Then, there's a knock on the door and its loud. After hiding the thing, he heads for the door.
A few guys, all dressed in black are standing on his porch. One has his ID pulled out and says, ' I'm John Falkirk from the National security agency. Were here looking for Dr. Edwin Harkenbach he has stolen something that doesn't belong to him. Have you seen him?' Jeffy doesn't know how to answer that question but, he knows he shouldn't lie. So, he tells him he saw him last night but, he's not here. Falkirk tells his men to search the house and that they know what he's looking for. The move into the house and begin to search the house.
Falkirk isn't what he seems and Amity ends up saying something snotty to him. If it was up to Falkirk, he would teach that girl a listen and he would love it. He doesn't care about them, he wants that hand held machine that can take him places that aren't part of this world. Its called, elsewhere. Different, plains of the same world with some that are dangerous and some that aren't.
His men didn't find anything and they lift. Jeffy, knew now that what Ed gave him was something dangerous and he wasn't sure what to do about it. He would go about his day and later on after everything was calm he would get it from his hiding place and check it out. Amity, had snowball with her and they were at the kitchen table.
As much as he wanted to protect her from things. He didn't know how much their life was going to change. He had the thing sitting on the table and was looking at it. When snowball walked over to it and stepped on it. Amity and her dad were touching each other and then, there was a light. They ended up jumping to another house that was theirs but, wasn't theirs. This was strange. Amity went looking around after sticking snowball into her pocket. There was nothing here that showed she ever lived here. Someone was outside mowing the lawn. This was weird. She looked at her dad and said they they needed to go back home. Jeffy, didn't even know how to do that.
He had to go get some book that Ed had wrote and being that they are somewhere else. They didn't know if this was a good place or a bad place. They do find that out. All hell breaks out and they end up in danger.
Well, I'm going to leave you with a cliff hanger here. You'll have to read the book to find out what happens. I'll add this. Falkirk is a really bad guy playing as a good guy. He just likes to kill people for pleasure. The book was interesting. Nothing like what you might think it is.
Well, I'm off to start my next book. Remember to read a book, you never know if you might just like it. Books are there to enjoy, so pick up one.
