Major (Ret.) Conn MacLeod is no ordinary forty year old - and he has a very long list of achievements to prove it. From his decorated army career, his celebrated status as a world champion in several sports, his acknowledged expertise in history, science, and engineering gained through his numerous university degrees, and his notoriety as a millionaire playboy, he has more notches in his belt and trophies on the wall than ten men combined.
Despite living his entire life in a breakneck, carefree and almost suicidal manner, Conn MacLeod has been the proverbial unstoppable force. But they say that all good things must come to an end... has he finally bitten off more than even he can chew?
He now plans to go alone to a place that he knows absolutely nothing about - where the risks are unforeseeable and the outcomes inconceivable. Despite any possible preparations, this is not something you do every day - and expect to survive.
Conn MacLeod has finally devised a key that will open a portal into a parallel world.
