Synopsis:
Mike Erikson is one of the smartest people in America. And yet—for reasons nobody around him quite understands—he’s chosen to let the potential of his amazing intellect go untapped, instead spending his days as a high school English teacher in a small New England town. Just as school lets out for the summer, however, an old friend presents Mike with a mystery he can’t help but be intrigued by—and one that he is uniquely qualified to solve.
Far out in the California desert, a team of DARPA scientists has invented a device called the Albuquerque Door. The machine uses a cryptic computer equation and magnetic fields to effectively “fold” dimensions, shrinking the distance between them so that a traveler can simply step through a portal to a different location. The invention—teleportation made real!—seems like one of mankind’s oldest dreams come true. But something, it seems, is going wrong. The personalities of the scientists who work on the device are changing. People are dying. Even reality itself seems to be . . . warping.
Soon Mike finds himself the unwelcome guest of an eccentric physicist and his hostile research team, all of whom seem convinced that he’s there to steal their secrets. But it’s Mike who figures out that the Albuquerque Door is not what it appears to be—and that its creators don’t have as much control over their project as they’ve led him to believe. As Mike and the other scientists use everything they’ve learned to solve a seemingly impossible technological mystery, their dream of changing the world rapidly turns into a horror story.
