The Lord of Dream and Metal

A Dark Lord from a world of dream, a dimension much lighter than ours, has caught a whiff of Earth—a dense “metal world” whose rich energy he covets to feed his insatiable blood addiction—and he is on the move to conquer and absorb us all!

Who is there to stand against the Lord of Dream and Metal? Only a scattered few . . . some through high technology, others through worlds of dream . . .

Chuck is paraplegic and mute due to a drug-fueled childhood accident—but his trauma gave him access to an infinite array of dream worlds, which are just as real as ours but physically inaccessible. Chuck explores these realms in the persona of Corak, his dream self. Corak trains in the arts of geomancy with a powerful Shaman who prepares him for an inevitable confrontation with the Dark Lord . . .

Meanwhile, George and Karl are college buddies who’ve come up with a technology that enables interdimensional travel. Hoping to further human knowledge (and get rich), they’ve implemented this technology with funding from a shadowy financier named Don and his feisty companion/associate, Marie. In testing the device, however, George is “accidentally” transported to another dimension (or as Chuck would call it, a dream world), where his genius will be tested to its limits . . . especially when the Dark Lord arrives!
