The Fold

The folks in Marco Leland s small New England town would say he s just your average, everyday guy. And that s just how Marco likes it. Sure, the life he s chosen may not be much of a challenge to someone with his gifts, but Marco is content with his quiet and peaceful existence. That is, until an old government friend presents him with an irresistible mystery one that Marco seems uniquely qualified to solve- it seems that a team of DARPA scientists has invented a device that could make teleportation a reality. But something is very wrong with the project. The personalities of the scientists who work on it are changing. People are dying. And reality itself seems to be warping. Marco soon learns that the machine is not at all what it appears to be and that its creators may have opened a doorway to something horrible that lurks just outside our world s borders.
