When a mysterious zeta-beam pulls Earth archaeologist Adam Strange across the galaxy to the war-torn planet Rann, he becomes a reluctant hero in a conflict that could destroy two worlds. Armed with only his wits, a jetpack, and his humanity, Adam must navigate alien politics, cosmic wars, and his growing bond with Rannian scientist Alanna, while struggling with one haunting truth — the beam that brought him here is dying, and it may never take him home again.
