From the dust jacket: "Throughout Cornell's youth, his dad was a UFO hunter, driving him down the backroads of smalltown America examining black glass circles in farm fields and other UFO evidence. Cornell kept hoping they'd find his mom who, Dad had told him, was taken by aliens. Then one night, the familiar starry night sky is ripped away and replaced by what looks like the other side of the Earth seen in a mirror. As a UFO expert, Cornell's father becomes a celebrity, but his father's sudden fame drives Cornell away. Cornell drifts until he is recruited by a mysterious government agency which swears him to secrecy before revealing that Earth has contacted alien worlds through the Portal, a device that 'translates' humans who pass through into indigenous lifeforms of the world. On the other side, Cornell is to work with Porsche, an enigmatic and utterly attractive woman. Together, Cornell and Porsche fight for their lives on an alien world so they can be together back home. But Cornell's biggest trials come when he returns to Earth to face secrets that are more shattering than any of his alien encounters."
