Description

Dodging flying cars and jam sessions with ragtag rockers keep him in shape. By the time they get a new condo he’s almost forgotten the concrete jungle.

One day, while tinkering with the television, a portal appears on the screen. Stepping inside, Kaneda and his two bandmates discover trees as far as the eye. Soon enough they’re lost. And a lot more bored than they’d planned. That is, until they begin to hear the whispers.

A Note From the Publisher

L. S. Popovich is the author of Undertones. They have always been a cat person (a person who like cats, not a cat human hybrid).
At least one room of the house should be completely crammed with books, so they believe. Other rooms should contain scattered piles.

Good stuff. A little bizarre and humorous as well. I'm not usually much into stories such as this, but I stayed mostly engaged, and liked the unpredictability of it. There are a number of detailed reviews if you want more info. Recommended.

Thanks very much for the review copy!!
