The Eschatos Diagram. A vast diorama of stars, cut by the edge of life and death, where reality crawls and twists into imagination, and doors yawn open to other worlds.

Bret Byrne goes to other realms when he closes his eyes, whether he wants to -- or not. Out of control, the process has had him declared strange, mad, and insane, committed to an asylum. His best friend and lawyer, Howard Kearns, used every legal weapon possible to drag him out of that hell, and Bret has struck a delicate balance between his nocturnal wandering and keeping his life together. Unseen forces, however, are moving, and Bret finds his already strange life upended, drawn into a conflict beyond his comprehension.
