This sixth adventure about Neil MacBruce and the Dropa books begins during the last of Earth's global wars, but quickly turns into a trip to relax and enjoy whatever recreation the human mind can conjure up on a technologically advanced world on the other side of the universe - but instead becomes an unexpected and deadly mission. Venturing into a part of the heart that rules the "dark" side of creation, Neil and a surprise visitor from his future Earth attempt to rescue two caught in the web of the underworld. Although there was no guarantee of success, their mission seemed foolproof. But things don't always work out as planned - and the course of action they were thrown into led them to life - and death.
