Cabrera Landing by David W. Stewart Retired financial advisor Leon
Wetherby buys Cabrera Landing, an isolated property on the Indian
River Lagoon in Florida, to be close to his granddaughter. He
immediately begins seeing unusual specters around the property,
such as a saber-toothed tiger, an antiquated pirate and a young
girl presumed dead for more than 150 years. While investigating
these occurrences with his new friend Annabel, he consults a witch,
a physics professor and an alien. Leon and Annabel discover that
Cabrera Landing is a main stop on a cosmic escalator that operates
between alternate universes. A mischievous cosmic creature,
Hassalla uses this cosmic elevator to transport Leon, Annabel and
four others to the equivalent of twelfth millennium B. C. Florida
in one of these alternate universes. The small tribe of six people,
three men and three women, each from a different time and culture,
struggles with the hardships of primitive living. They face hunger,
thirst, cold and numerous ice-age animals such as saber-toothed
tigers, dire wolves and cave bears. For six years, Hassalla amuses
itself with their adventures and in the seventh, allows them to
produce children. The infants create additional problems for the
group, especially since their spirits are bound to the astral plane
of the alternate universe. A nurturing cosmic entity, Nanya is
aware of the plight of the six exiles and their three babies. Nanya
realizes that when Hassalla terminates its drama, it must
extinguish the lives of the tribal members and abandon the infants.
After eight years, Hassalla destroys the tribe and its compound in
a terrifying meteor shower, however, Nanya manages to rescue the
children. The spirits of the tribal members are reborn in their
original universe and the spirits of Leon and Annabel are reunited.
Leon's granddaughter inherits Cabrera Landing and sells it to an
emissary of Nanya, which quarantines it from the world so that no
other individuals will suffer the fate of Leon, Annabel and the
others.
