From The Inside

by Elgon Williams

There are no paradoxes; everything is an illusion. In the technopolis of New Amsterdam, the largest city on the continent, Andy Hunter is a lower level technician lost in the tangled confusion of all the ‘What ifs’ of life. The question is... ‘Whose life is it?’ Lost in the nearly infinite alternative lifetimes of a multitude of other selves, at times waking as another person he’s never yet met, Andy’s only hope of returning to his place of origin is the replication of the critically flawed device that he constructed in his native reality. Unexpectedly the way back leads only to further complication and frustration as he becomes more lost. The newly constructed device unleashes latent magical powers while unlocking a threshold to access to a fantastic world intrinsically linked to Earth. This is a newly revised, second edition of the story that began it all. Over twenty years in its creation, One Over X was the groundbreaking, trans-genre sci-fi/fantasy work serving as the entry-level experience for the traveler of other worlds on many layers of alternate universes. As a stepping tone for crossing the Continuum of Concentric Spheres, From The Inside and To The Closer lends the readers a first glimpse of Anter’x and introduces wolfcats and the magical powers of the Wolf Stone amulet that serve as the foundation for The Wolfcat Chronicles. Now, over eleven years after its first publication, it is presented in two parts, From The Inside and To The Closer, the way the author originally intended for the story to be told. It is the first two books of a series yet to be published that series that begins the telling of The Wolfcat Ela’na’s experiences on Earth.
