The trouble starts when Alex saves a woman's life form being hit by a truck. Little did he know that would plunge him into a flight to save his life and the lives of millions of people on two worlds.
The woman Alex saved turns out to be from another world and she tells Alex he is the key to saving her world. Alex does not believe her until one day he is suddenly attacked and nearly killed with Jax arriving just in time to save his life. The two go to visit Alex's mother and end up as patients in the mental hospital being questioned about a gateway. The two barely escape with their lives and head toward Maine and answers to what is happening.
The story comes to a climax at the gate when Alex figures out how to activate the gateway and for the moment saves millions of lives on his world and gives the people on Jax's world hope.
The story is a stand alone one but if you have read the Sword of Truth series it makes it easier to understand. I find it ironic that the last names of the characters are the same as the main characters in the previously mentioned series. The story line is interesting but to many things seem to be understood by Alex and Jax adapts to this world way to easily. That being said I recommend the book.
Goodkind leaves room for another book so I will wait and see if another one is forthcoming.
