Through the Aurora
Theodor Pichler knew joining the Barrow Observatory’s winter crew would be a difficult position. He thought he knew the danger–freezing temperatures, gale-force winds, and terribly spotty broadband coverage. What he didn’t expect was for an experimental new telescope array to interact with an unusual storm and send him screaming helplessly into the sky.
Instead of falling to his death, Theo landed in an alien world, populated by colorful horses he can’t understand. What’s worse: the body he landed in isn’t his own, and he’s not sure anything is where it should be. Having wings might be cool if he didn’t have to be naked all the time…
With limited supplies and no help from the Observatory, Theo has to somehow navigate this new land, making new friends and encountering terrible dangers along the way. It will take all his cleverness, and a healthy dose of luck, if he’s ever to be human again.
