		Investigating what is apparently a "rip in space," a landing party beams down to a planet to find Lazarus (Robert Brown), an unstable man involved in a mysteriously bizarre problem: He's in a battle with his counterpart self from a parallel universe.

		Of course, two redshirt deaths also come across as a little pointless, but, hey, that's how clichés are born.

		Hyperspace : A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the 10th Dimens ion (Paperback)
		This version, from the author of the graduate text Quantum Field Theory, is very curious as he delineates the "delicious contradictions" of the quantum revolution: that the new paradigms of subatomic matter require the existence of "hyperspace," an ultimate universe of many dimensions, to accomodate their mostly mathematical behaviors.
		This is an odyssey into the history of development of the concept of hyperspace that includes fourth and higher spatial dimensions to account for the riddles and unsolved problems of unified field theory.
