| Review Summary |
On receipt of a letter from an old college friend, John Ellis, the writer George Kramer travels to a small Californian town, where he is confronted by strange happenings. These are the result of another of his old college friends, Daniel Kesserich, who has discovered a way to use an anomaly of collapsing magnetic fields to move in the super-time of the fifth dimension, and thus the time of the fourth dimension. Normally this activity has no consequences with regard to the surrounding town and its population. But when Kesserich uses his discovery to return John Ellis' wife from the dead, the town's population succumb to a general psychological trauma due to the temporal contradictions set in motion.
