...Join our hero, Mr. Johnny, when he meets a Victorian gentleman-mystic and finds himself whisked away in a shining surrey from his quiet California home. Confused but curious, Johnny travels an array of Possible Worlds that take him very far from old Earth. His travels are thrilling but random. Yet when his loved one, Ms. Marilyn, begins showing up along with him in the strange Possible Worlds, he begins to wonder... Could he and Marilyn somehow learn to control their destinies? Could they direct their travels and choose which Worlds to visit? Could they somehow find — or even create — a new world of their very own?
