Book 2 of the Doors into the Dimensions SeriesJoe and Alice helped the Artificial Intelligence computer of the Barton Street Gym win the battle for Milwaukee. Now the Superstrand Opti-cable network is about to connect Milwaukee to Chicago. What will they find, in the larger city? Has a single computer assimilated the city? Is there an ongoing battle for dominance?Or a really poisonous winner?Not to mention three other groups exploring Chicago Dimension Six.Joe's got his work cut out for him, beating the Chicago Rattlesnake and saving his dad.
The world opens up a bit more... after Joe and Alice, with Barton Street, managed to defeat the rampaging Tyrannosaurus of the last book, a whole new landscape (literally!) is opening up as the super-connection to Chicago is laid. Chicago's Boss AI (a big nasty rattlesnake) has its own human backers and controls a desert landscape filled with canyons, flash floods, sandstorms, and caves. This time, Joe and Alice aren't alone, because at least two different groups of government agents have infiltrated the dimension in order to investigating growing reports of weird phenomena that happen in dimensional space.
Furthers the concepts that were explored in the last book and gives us a feel for some of the possibilities of a world where you can travel through large numbers of dimensions and interact with other intelligences besides other people. A fascinating story and I'll keep my eye open for more releases in this series.
