Julian James is a Grade C citizen in a world where the Archons, a reptilian race of aliens, control the planet. Most citizens are permitted one day off per week and it’s one such day that Julian meets Taal, a visitor on reconnaissance from another dimension.<br><br>This chance meeting fills Julian with feelings he’s never had before. He takes an instant liking to this handsome visitor and the attraction is mutual. He manages a few more meetings with Taal and the two men plot Julian’s escape to the beauty and freedom of Taal’s dimension.<br><br>But things rarely go to plan. Julian’s been smart, but has he been smart enough to outwit the all-seeing, all-powerful Archon overlords and their human puppets? There is no such thing as a small risk. Taal and Julian’s escape plan will either end in spectacular happiness or abysmal disaster. Many citizens wouldn’t even try it. But Julian isn’t just any citizen.

Another Dimension

He flopped back onto his bed. Six more days, he thought.


He closed his eyes and thought about Taal. He wondered what his new friend was doing now. And ‘meditation’. The word sounded awfully like ‘medication’. Were they at all related? he wondered before he felt sleep creeping over him like an early morning winter mist. 3


Day Seven couldn’t arrive fast enough for Julian. He’d had a rough week. People were still giving him a wide berth. Only on Day Six had Lucy said a quick ‘good morning’ to him on the way to the Business District. Alastair was still not speaking to him and Julian couldn’t help but wonder why. Obviously nothing had come of his interview with the Department of Justice on Day One. There was no reason for anyone to be wary of him.
