Applied to matters of the heart, it broke the ice with his buttoned-down rival, Maggie Douglass. But how would John Adams Tyler react when he encountered the truly fantastic?
Maggie didn't want to know, so she invented wild excuses to keep John miles from her hotel. Ringed by barbed wire, surrounded by security guards, Maggie's little inn had been commandeered by PAX, the super-secret organization that was about to plunge John and Maggie into an exciting and dangerous world where fantasy and reality became one.
