"Billy Brock inherits strange powers from a shapeshifter woman who knows a lot more than she seems. Ruger, the evil wizard, possesses stolen technology from another world that could possibly send Billy and his friends back to their world. This see-saw battle has them playing hunted and hunter at various segments of the story. The Dracor, robots of superior strength, arrive through an open portal, creating havoc for both Billy's friends and Ruger's army.
Dr. Smith is befuddled by the portal technology and how it works. It defies anything that he ever understood. He encounters an old colleague at Ruger's castle rekindling their research and investigation into the original anomaly which placed them in these hostile realms. "
