The story is about a 16-year-old boy, Colt, whose parents are killed in a car accident, and when that begins to look suspicious, he is pulled against his will into a world that most people on planet Earth know nothing about. It's filled with 'bridges' from our planet to other, often more dangerous worlds, and there is an agency on Earth called CHAOS who secretly fights to keep the bridges closed and take care of any ill-intentioned aliens that might sneak through a rift.
Of course none of the book is believable, in that its all about monsters and highly sophisticated scientific advancements and technology gleaned from other planets. But it's still an enjoyable read for those who enjoy sci-fi. I'm going to say it's target audience is teenage boys, as the main character is a teenage boy and his two 'side kicks' throughout the book are also teenagers. Though the publisher of the book is Thomas Nelson, the story is not overtly Christian; the only inclusions are a reference to a Bible study, mention of a church service where the story of King David sending Uriah to his death in battle is briefly touched on, and Colt's romantic interest inviting him to sing a duet with him at the next service. But the impression is that Colt's grandfather deems church attendance as very valuable, as does said romantic interest. And even with all the alien fights and sci-fi stuff, it's not gruesome or offensive.
