The Knights of Excelter team up with Lockharst scientists to unravel the meaning of obscure coded equations. This leads to the opening of a portal into another dimension, an alien realm where Brandon Chadler suspects his father, an archaeologist, to have gone missing years ago. Mira's dream visions, Irish folklore of the Gomtrell community, and some ancient clay tablets offer clues that reveal substantial evidence supporting Allen Chadler's disappearance into this other dimensional realm. Follow the adventures of Captain Chadler, and his search team, as they explore a realm previously dismissed by the academic community of Scotwold and the normal world. A realm kept in utmost secrecy by the descendants of Irish and Scottish settlers from past centuries to the present. They discover the indigenous tribes of the canyons, the Ubolozimbe, in this new realm; a people who have learned to tolerate the presence of settlers on their sacred lands. Brandon and Mira's romantic relationship flourishes as they explore the sparkling realm of Gomtrellia, even as time is swiftly passing in Scotwold. And the only link to their previous life is through a mysterious boy with clairvoyant vision and the image of the Great Gray Owl. Sylas Mervinstone returns in this book with a vastly altered appearance due to an elixir of youth which he keeps under lock and key. The Dragon Lord breaks his own well-established rules to accommodate the under-aged Craig Zutherlan, the only person who can make contact with Mira through barriers of light, time, and space between dimensional realms.

On a bright, sunny day, a Transvaal passenger aircraft was on the last of its several trips across Zambia. The flight had, thus far, been largely uneventful when, suddenly, pure-white light appeared in front of the aircraft and moved to swallow it up. In mere seconds, the aircraft, its crew, and its passengers were surrounded by the light. Abruptly the aircraft rose vertically into the sky. An extensive air, land, and sea search of Zambia and the surrounding countries proved to be in vain. The aircraft and all the people in it had simply disappeared. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, in Brazil, a country well-known for UFO sightings, a Brazilian passenger aircraft disappeared into the heavens. This time, however, the bodies of the missing were returned. Neatly arranged bodies were placed in multiple rows. When they were discovered, the horror became evident—all the internal organs had been removed. A young girl was left alive to give testament to the horrific acts of desecration. In response to the alien threat over the years, a top secret organization known as Space Command was established within the United States Navy. During the following years, Space Command armed itself with advanced weaponry and was staffed with the best of the best. Its new commander, Rear Admiral Michael Scott, had experience with the alien threat and was committed, as were the men and women of Space Command, to beat the threat back and defeat the aliens no matter the cost. No stone would be left unturned in their determination. It’s now time to buckle your seat belts as you, the reader, are about to embark on an international adventure fraught with danger, passion, and a willingness to save Earth.
