Assistant Professor James Orson is a lost son of the modern age, a self-obsessed and neurotic outcast. He has an unfulfilling job, a distant girlfriend, and a jerk for a boss - but, when an old computer system malfunctions outside of his rundown office in the university's subbasement, James Orson suddenly finds himself lost in a strange world of ancient starships, mad kings, and sleeping, alien horrors. Arriving in the midst of a failing rebellion against the once-mighty Kingdom of Man, Orson is falsely imprisoned in the ruins of a hellish space station orbiting a dying star. Brought to the edge of sanity and left to die in the darkness, can the lost assistant professor survive to seek his revenge, or will he lose himself forever in the cursed Pit of the Château d'Soleil Rouge? Adventure awaits in this modern Science Fiction tale inspired by twentieth century sword and sorcery.
