Parallel Missions-The Journey Begins

Parallel Missions

by Larry L. Sydow

What would you do if you saved the life of a total stranger who claimed to be from a parallel universe?  Derek and Margo did, and the stranger, Tomas, recruited them to join him and his wife Judith in creating a Team whose purpose is to save this world and their Parallel world.  "As on Earth, so in Parallel" proves to be the guiding principle for the rescue missions on which they embark.

After a visit to Parallel, which is many hundreds of years advanced scientifically over Earth, they return to this world, rejuvenated and ready for the Missions on which they will be sent.

With Tomas and Judith, they use scientifically advanced equipment, a computer named Bart, and a cigar-shaped Ship, capable of managing rapid transit utilizing wormholes and space-warp technologies.  All equipment with which the parallel world supplies them is in existence or on the drawing boards of scientists in this world. 

With Bart's help, the Team turns a simple European vacation into a working one as the Missions become more dangerous and complex.  Their message on every Mission is spelled out in the appropriate language on their insignia: "VIOLENCE BEGETS VIOLENCE – PEACE BEGETS PEACE."
