For decades, the Minoans of Prime Trace thought they knew the geometry of the myriad of alternate realities that surrounded their existence. They believed themselves utterly superior to the inhabitants of all other worlds, masters of technology and arbiters of justice and morality. When a team of Minoan researchers are given the freedom to explore the true depths of reality, they discover a different geometry and open up what may prove to be an infinite number of alternate worlds. Deciding to send Jate Goldmet and a team of Portal Adepts under his command into one of the newly-discovered alternate worlds seems at first, a prudent, and perhaps profitable act. When the reality of that alternate world turns out to be very different from what the Minoans expected, Goldmet and his team find themselves in a chaotic world that tricks all their five senses and leaves them weaponless and besieged by well-armed opponents. Faced with almost certain extinction, Jate and his team are forced to depend on their wits and team spirit as they fight to escape a fate none of them deserve.
