STEP INTO THE FOLD.ITS PERFECTLY SAFE. The folks in Mike Eriksons small New England town would say hes just your average, everyday guy. And thats exactly how Mike likes it. Sure, the life hes chosen isnt much of a challenge to someone with his unique gifts, but hes content with his quiet and peaceful existence. That is, until an old friend presents him with an irresistible mystery, one that Mike is uniquely qualified to solve far out in the California desert, a team of DARPA scientists has invented a device they affectionately call the Albuquerque Door. Using a cryptic computer equation and magnetic fields to fold dimensions, it shrinks distances so that a traveler can travel hundreds of feet with a single step. The invention promises to make mankinds dreams of teleportation a reality.
