Short description

Brian Holliday, a tired, overworked executive, stumbles across a cave that leads him to a new world. He's confronted by a medieval civilization, where magic has changed many of the natural laws he’s come to rely on, and he struggles to understand his place in it. His greatest challenge will come from within, a choice between running home or risking it all to save an unfamiliar world.

Extended description

Brian Holliday never bargained for this. He buys a dilapidated farm in Vermont, just looking for a simpler lifestyle. Instead, when he explores a cave on his new property he stumbles across a gateway to another world. As he explores this new place he is confronted by a civilization ruled by swords and kings, where magic has changed many of the natural laws he’s come to rely on, and a wilderness that includes elves and dwarves and other strange beings. Worse than that, he finds himself drawn into an ancient legend that might force him to sacrifice everything he’s gained in his home world, or deny the responsibility and ultimately cause the destruction of both. If he accepts the task, he’ll have to decide who from his world will help him to win the battle that is brewing over control of the gate, or find a way to close it before the fighting begins.

Review by: gloria davis on July 11, 2012 :
I have read this book, it was great. It held my interest and am looking forward to the 2nd part of this series. If you enjoy fantastical creatures and science fiction then this is the book for you. I usually read non-fiction and mysteries, I enjoy this book very much. As I mentioned, I am looking forward to the 2nd book of this series. GREAT READING
