Publisher's Synopsis
For Bill Black, the journey of a lifetime begins when he is struck by a car while standing on his second-floor balcony. Improbable? Definitely, but it's the beginning of a new normal for the man who will soon be known as Longshot, as he finds himself drawn into a forty-year mystery involving thousands of unexplained disappearances. His search will take him and his companions far from everything they know and understand when they step through a portal into an alternate Earth, and he may find that duty, honor and friendship are not solely human traits. In the end, a desperate race for survival will decide the fates of those who remain. If they are going to have any chance at all, they are going to need the luckiest man in the world.
