Extraordinary Space is a work of science fiction that blends
romance and adventure with a newly postulated scientific thesis. In
the novel, a new direction of travel available to humans is
discovered mathematically and later brought to reality by the main
character Lyte Donner. Lyte, with the help of his female assistant
Jaseta Zee, makes use of his newly developed technology in a
variety of ways including erradicating drug rings, dissolving
street gangs, busting international terrorist organizations, and
many others. Due to ordinary forces of Earth gravity, this new
direction of travel has gone unrealized until Lyte neutralizes
gravity in a realistic way consistent with current cutting edge
technology. Lyte then balances all other forces that could cause
movement in every heretofore known direction and this in turn
causes movement in the path of least resistance which is in the new
direction. The novel refers to this new direction as the fourth
dimension but hold on to your hats because this is not the usual
concept of the fourth dimension. Much theory and fiction have
already been advanced about the fourth dimension time-space
continuum but this novel deals with none of that. New science is
proposed in the novel and the new direction of movement is the
result of extending the rules of 3-dimensional Euclidean space to
4-dimensional space. It is Euclidean Four Space. Before arguing the
point, the question is who can prove that this space doesn´ t
exist? Caution is called for here. Proceed with an open mind. Lyte
uses a device called the INTEGRAL to move into the new space which
fully encompasses every point in the old ordinary space. A person
reading the novel for the first timewill likely make judgments
based of his/her circle of knowledge and frame of reference and
could refer to the INTEGRAL as a Teleportation device. This is new
science. It would be a mistake to call the INTEGRAL a Teleportation
device. The characters simply move into a new space. They are not
teleported anywhere. Teleportation was probably a term new to many
of us and introduced by the entertainment industry during the 1960´
s. We have advanced far beyond that and few if any of the old
clichis are adequately able to describe the new science axiomated
by the novel. It took several years to develop and complete the
novel. The novel was completed prior to the events of 9/11/01.
Ironically, Lyte Donner's first lead to terrorists in the book was
centered around a pair of Middle Easterners traveling from London
to Paris. The subject of terrorism is a major part of the book. The
novel culminates on a complication of terrorism, which is resolved
nicely. The book is alive with patriotism (again written even
before the events of 9/11/01). Patriotism is now alive and well
again in our country. It is a popular thing at present and
throughout the novel, patriotism is thrust to the forefront. The
book even explains how and why patriotism was subdued for such a
long period of time, from Lyte's point of view of course. In the
book, the term Ground Zero is used in its original sense. The term
has now become a well recognized and repeated term. The book is
appropriate for the time. The events described in the book are
purely ficticious. Any resemblences to real events is strictly
coincidental. Although the events in the book are fictional, some
(but not all) of the events in the book carry anunderlying theme
that should be the concern of every American citizen.
