Synopsis The book describes two spaces that exist simultaneously in the universe , each of three spatial dimensions, and each occupied by human beings of roughly equal technological standing. The people in the two spaces have no awareness of each other, but each has developed faster than light transportation that relies on navigation through a Four dimensional space fourth dimension that the two spaces share. Through their joint use of the fourth dimension, psychics called psiontists in the two spaces become aware of each other, and meet to exchange technologies. The residents of one of the spaces use their superior weaponry and psychic abilities to help the residents of the other defeat a Adolf Hitler Hitler like leader who plans to kill or enslave all those who do not belong to his Garshan race.
