Just Like Real People

A novelette of 14,000 words, a sequel to the Windrose Chronicles, which began with The Silent Tower and The Silicon Mage. Antryg Windrose, exiled Archmage from another universe, is called upon by a Los Angeles biker who claims that his girlfriend has been abducted by shadowy beings from across the Void. Antryg and his companion, computer programmer Joanna Sheraton, go in quest of the missing woman, and find that other people, in other universes, are being inexplicably kidnapped, too. The quest leads to a ghastly secret, and a battle with dark magic and death.
