Beyond the Beyond

Oswald Ferm, a book editor for a major publisher in a U.S. city, is eating his lunch one day when something extraordinary occurs. He discovers antigravity machines, wormholes at work, and the places he once knew now look different. He wrestles with these conundrums until realizing that he can no longer live in this strange place and begins a journey to his hometown in order make sense of this new world. As he slowly figures out at least the fundamentals of his transfer from his planet to another similar planet and that it’s not he that has changed but the world around him, he contends with his new environment and even regains a semblance of sanity as he wrestles with spaceships, limited time travel, and a body politic so different than the one he’s used to that only the help of a new friend can he cope with what has happened.
