About This Book

A newly married man in London seeks his abducted wife and discovers a secret cult that sacrifices victims to open a mechanical portal to another universe; with a skeptical inspector he infiltrates their cavern, witnesses the door bloom into a baleful green view of a living, alien city whose pseudopod-like extensions reach through, and intervenes just as shots sever the device and the ritual collapses, enabling a violent rescue amid a panic-stricken mob. The tale blends pulp adventure with cosmic horror, exploring ritual, forbidden technology, and the peril of other-dimensional contact.
