Terry is on the run, having escaped from prison and killed its overseer. He has no choice but to head north to the distant border. That's where Ludo's wife is being held, but time is of the essence. If they don't hurry, she'll be sacrificed to the gods as part of an ancient barbaric ceremony. With an army at their heels and a continent to cross, Terry and Ludo have precious little time if they ever hope to succeed. Meanwhile, Mei Curie has opened a portal to another world…and it isn’t what she expected. There are worms the size of cars, animals with bulletproof hides, and an advanced alien race unlike anything mankind has ever witnessed. Not to worry, though. Johnathan Finn has just the a rifle stocked with bullets, ready to deal with whatever threats come knocking. Along with his team of soldiers, John is here for a single purpose—to find his missing friend and bring him home. But in a world as strange as this one, a simple search and rescue mission could prove deadly.
