From the Author:
A university physics discovery leads to an Eden-like world.
About the Author:
TWISTOR was my first novel. It's about people doing scientific research, about breakthrough physics discoveries, and about adventures in a "shadow world" that parallels our own.
David Harrison, a young physics postdoc and and Victoria Gordon, a graduate student working together on a "table-top" experiment in a small lab at the University of Washington stumble on a world-spanning breakthrough discovery, the Twistor Effect. Soon, because of dirty tricks by industrial spies, David and two small children are trapped in a "shadow" world, an Eden-like twin of the Earth with its own ecology of strange plants and animals, including a peculiarly colorful "tree-bird", a dextrous six-legged "shadow kitten", and a giant tentacle-mouthed "shadow bear". David has most of a laboratory full of custom-built equipment but no electrical power. Vickie has the technical knowledge, but her hardware has gone with David and the industrial spies are closing in. Can David and the children ever get back to their own world, or are they trapped forever in the the beautiful but dangerous shadow world?
A Professor of Physics at the University of Washington in Seattle, John G. Cramer also works at New York's Brookhaven National Laboratory and at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. In addition to his many scientific publications, he writes a regular column for Analog Science Fiction and Fact magazine.
