Welcome to Parallel University, where the students all come from parallel universes ... and where Merri Terryl, a freshman from a post-nuclear Earth, makes a shocking discovery: something is causing the various parallels to wink out of existence. With the help of her friends (a nocturnal boy, a Roman gladiator, and an irresistible android), she travels from world to world until she discovers the cause — and the staggering evil behind it. But by then it may be too late to save all reality. Dakota Rusk has, under another name, written novels, nonfiction, and literary criticism, in addition to many Marvel Comics.
