Jill Hamilton would call herself an ordinary person. Certainly in comparison to the sharpshooting, monster-savvy Selene Shields and the six-and-a-half-foot tall, sword-wielding Clara Nordstern. But Selene and Clara would say that ordinary people, on discovering that the heavy-metal rock star performing in Las Vegas is a vampire, would not want to get an impression of his teeth. Which is exactly what Jill Hamilton wants to do. Not content to simply fight the supernatural forces of evil, Jill Hamilton is also set on understanding them-and if that means interviewing a vampire, hunting angels, or...

But when Professor Odd and her crew visit one of these "temporally rigid" worlds they discover someone has been messing about in both the past and the future. What began as a piece of cake turned inexplicably to pie turns out to be a tremor from a catastrophe that occurred outside of conventional time-sending the universe into spiral of self-destruction. Tumbled together...

It's all well and good to use your space-manipulating oddity of a home to open a portal into a starship for a little innocent nebula-gazing, but when the crew of said ship catches you things can get awkward fast. This is the problem encountered by Professor Odd and her friends, which turns out to be the first in a string of problems including, but not limited to: what is this ship even doing here? (It is in the wrong universe.) Are those giant space humanoids peaceful, or actually weapons of absolute destruction? (The answer is yes.) And last but not least: how is everyone going to get home?...

Although Jill Hamilton's primary interest is the research and documentation of supernatural phenomena, scientific progress is not immune to human drama, and when Clara Nordstern's estranged brother goes missing, she and Selene put the main mission on hold to help her find him.
