Cameron Fenton is a professional parapsychologist, invited to experiment with a drug claimed to enhance extrasensory powers. Under the drug antaril, researchers have been able to predict a sequence of cards correctly every time.

This is the breathrough which researchers have been seeing the definitive proof which will force skeptics to admit the existence of paranormal powers. Dr. Garnock of the Deprtment of Parasychology discounts the bizarre fantasies and hallucinations as mere side effect, insignificant against the scientific value of an ESP-enhancing substance.

But Cam Fenton knows that what he has experienced in the world of the Alfar is real; and when he checks with other test subjects, he becomes convinced that antaril's true effect is to project the user into other dimensions, parallel zones which threaten to extend their dark fantasy and very tangible dangers into ourown world. He becomes involved in the search for the Worldhouse, where, it is said, the worlds cross and travelers can pass from one world to another.
