About this ebook

Samuel Dantan returns to the Martian stronghold of Klanvahr with vengeance burning through him, still haunted by the Redhelm raid that destroyed his life and drove him into years of ruthless wandering. Thirst, exhaustion, and the certainty of pursuit push him deeper into the desert until a hidden stream bed leads him to a buried metal dome, an ancient and unmistakably alien structure beneath the ruins of Mars. Inside, he finds a forgotten laboratory of eerie light and advanced machinery, where a woman's voice speaks from a black screen and mistakes him for Sanfel, a scientist lost across impossible distances. What begins as a chance at shelter becomes a doorway into a war between worlds: Quiana, trapped on the strange planet Zha, needs help against a deadly enemy, and Dantan soon sees the face of the woman he lost long ago staring back at him from another universe. As he crosses the Door to aid her, he is battered by a weapon that assaults mind and senses alike, forcing him into a surreal confrontation with alien power, warped time, and the limits of human endurance. In the end, Dantan learns that love, like the worlds he has crossed, may be both real and unreachable. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.

About the author

Henry Kuttner was an American writer whose career helped shape the imaginative energy of mid-20th-century science fiction and fantasy. Born in Los Angeles in 1915, he began publishing at a young age and quickly became one of the most versatile and prolific voices in the pulp era, later working closely with his wife and fellow writer C. L. Moore, with whom he produced some of his finest and most inventive fiction. Kuttner moved fluidly across science fiction, fantasy, and horror, earning a reputation for wit, ingenuity, and a rare ability to combine fast-moving adventure with emotional depth and literary flair. His stories often explore the instability of identity, the hazards of technology, the power of imagination, and the uneasy boundary between the ordinary and the uncanny, themes that still feel strikingly modern in an age shaped by rapid change and uncertainty. He remains significant not only for the sheer quality and variety of his work, but also for the way he helped expand what genre fiction could do, blending suspense, humor, and philosophical curiosity into tales that continue to surprise readers. Today, Kuttner's legacy endures in writers who value clever plotting, psychological nuance, and speculative ideas with a human center. Readers who enjoy classic science fiction, inventive fantasy, and briskly told stories with a thoughtful edge are especially likely to find him rewarding.
