A delicious dream, astral projection, a traumatic coma, a time/space distortion, an inter-dimensional bridge, a parallel universe, a dazzling hallucination; is he dead, or did it all really happen? A modern-day fairy tale In a realm where the real and metaphysical entwine, the fate of existence hangs in the balance. On a search-and-rescue mission, a fighter pilot encounters an Arctic disturbance and crash lands beneath the ice sheets of Greenland. He joins an elf, an oaf, and a feline knight on a quest to stop an amphibious madman from stealing the Omnipotent Indigo Orb. The creature obsesses night and day, yearning to use the sphere's potence to entomb all that is, all that was, and all that ever will be.
