After escaping the ruthless Lector, Zax Delatree has a new enemy to fight in the sequel to Doors of Sleep. Every
time Zaxony Delatree falls asleep, he wakes up on a new world. His life
has turned into an endless series of brief encounters. But at least he
and Minna, the one companion who has found a way of travelling with him,
are no longer pursued by the psychotic and vengeful Lector. But
now Zax has been joined once again by Ana, a companion he thought left
behind long ago. Ana is one of the Sleepers, a group of fellow
travellers between worlds. Ana tells Zax that he is unknowingly host to a
parasitic alien that exists partly in his blood and partly between
dimensions. The chemical that the alien secretes is what allows Zax to
travel. Every time he does, however, the parasite grows, damaging the
fabric of the Universes. Ana is desperate to recruit Zax to her cause
and stop the alien. But
there are others who are using the parasite, such as the cult who serve
the Prisoner – an entity trapped in the dimension between universes.
Every world is like a bar in its prison. The cult want to collapse all
the bars of the worlds and free their god. Can Zax, Minna, Ana and the
other Sleepers band together and stop them? |
