The Ways Between Worlds · Peter Cooper

Peter Cooper is approaching middle age as he begins his third rotation to the international research station on the moon’s far side. His life is satisfying but generally uneventful until he and his partner discover an alien artifact hidden at the bottom of a crater. When the device suddenly activates Peter is flung, naked and alone, to a half ruined transportation terminal on a new world.

Hundreds of years before beings from dozens of alien races had been similarly stranded by a widespread failure in the ancient transport system. Starting with nothing those beings struggled to maintain the old knowledge and to restore a fraction of their original cultures and technologies. Peter’s sole hope of return is to cross thousands of kilometers to find a second transport site marked on a hand drawn map..

As a youngster he’d devoured the heroic accounts of ERB’s John Carter or John Norman’s Tarl Calbot. Now he is learning that real adventure is more about staying alive than conquering half a planet or winning the love of a beautiful princess.

If you yearn to explore a distant world, to survive hostile environments, to encounter alien friends, and battle alien fiends, join Peter as he seeks out The Ways Between Worlds .
