This is an alternate cover edition for B00O42TD7G
An exhausted immortal uses the dreamscape drug to open a door into Other.
Omen – the bad omen they told you not to follow – is addicted to Doors. Using an unwilling victim to open a door via their own dreams, he pulls apart dimensions of time and space to access a plane of existence called Other, where all forgotten memories can be inspected. Omen plays at politics while hiding on a moon called Tranquillity. He has to keep his identity hidden to survive – until his cover is blown. During a fight to the death, he accesses Other to open the last door and find the secret that has eluded him for millions of years.
Extract: The fountains soared up into the night, the sound of the water on the white hexagons like shattering glass. I was utterly exposed, I knew it. Paranoia presented me with a variety of scenarios and I ignored them all. It was never going to be clever. No plot against me could ever outwit me. After torturing me for so long, they should have known. They thought I was addled with Doors, that I was weak, that my Self was disappearing. They had never worked it out. They did not know who I was.
The Exodus Sequence: Each novelette in the Exodus Sequence is a standalone story. They don’t have to be read in order. They are not in any way connected like chapters in a book. They vary in style and character, time and place. However, the mystery unfolds as the sequence progresses, hence the numbering. To follow this unfolding, the sequence is best read in order.
A novelette is, by definition, longer than a short story but not as long as a novella.
