A 17 year old boy stumbles on his way home from school - a fall that propels him into a parallel world which looks physically the same as his small home town but belongs to a different, non technological society, dominated by a dictator who has enslaved the populace. Young people are illegal because the citizens have taken a longlife drug. Joe is chased, almost killed but he escapes through a wild and uncultivated England to the hideout of a small group of dissidents under siege. They initially regard him as a spy but he eventually wins their confidence and spends two life changing years with them. He and one of the girls fall passionately in love. Joe is transformed but their ecstatic life together is doomed. The dictator attacks and she is killked. Joe returns to the town and there, after a bloody battle, defeats the tyrant. In the process he is attacked and finds himself back at home, the same age as when he fell but transformed into a different person. A second volume is in preparation.

As heard on XM Satellite Radio, this scathing satire of the advertising industry taunts you with a live radio broadcast complete with all-too-truthful commercials from a series of wacky sponsors you'll grow to love. The station's owner is Jimbo Thomas -- always ready to weasel his way onto the airwaves just because he likes the sound of his own voice. Listen to breaking news as an assassination attempt unfolds and the sponsors seize the opportunity to cash in on the latest frenzy. Soon alien visitors arrive from a neighboring world, sending Earth's two biggest corporate empires into the ultimate power struggle -- fighting for control of the very station you're listening to.

John's journey takes him to rural Maine, where two youths who have grown up in an off-grid Refuge are the only ones willing to heed his desperate warnings. With trouble on their heels, the three set off on an uncertain path fraught with grim survivalists, rugged individuals, religious maniacs and dangers of nature that have grown up in this strange land.
