Inhaltsangabe

The all powerful Parallex Corporation has developed Glimmer booths - enabling citizens to travel freely between Parallel worlds. David is a natural Glimmerer who can travel without a booth. Before his mysterious disappearance David's father owned Parallex. His business partner Amos is the most renowned glimmerer of all. The Parallels are collapsing into anarchy as glimmering permits competitive worlds to attract commerce - ruining other economies by encouraging vast transfers of power and money. Mrs Baker seizes control of Middle World by enacting anti terrorist laws to protect its citizens from a bogus threat. As she draws ever greater powers to herself she summons forces beyond all imagination to invade neighbouring Parallels. But to succeed, Mrs Baker must first eliminate David. David is framed for murder by a shadowy organisation opposed to Mrs Baker and is blackmailed into helping them. He takes refuge on Earth- which is still unaware of the existence of other parallels. But Amos is in hot pursuit. Dangerous Friends is the first thrilling novel in "The War between Worlds" trilogy. The chilling resonances with modern day Britain enable disturbing issues to be dealt with in a manner that will appeal to older children and adults.
