What's Next for Tyler Freeman and Thaddeus Stout?

Once the spaceport on the Island of the Moon becomes a financial success, Freeman and Stout turn their attention to the exploitation of an accidental discovery that Stout made while trying to synthesize the minerals that drive the Titicaca Effect. He learned how to create an interdimensional shift that can move solid objects - including human beings - from one place to another instantly. Thus, the science fiction dream of teleportation becomes a reality, and with it, a potential corporate mega-power known as Beam, Inc. is born.

Bringing the technology on line, however, is no simple task. Failed

experiments, a multi-billion-dollar buildout requirement, corporate espionage, a government grab for control of the technology for military use, and activists bent on protecting the alternate realities that the process utilizes from contamination, all combine to create a series of harrowing roadblocks and challenges for the two men.
