Parallel Missions : The Journey Begins

Derek and Margo Ackerman were an ordinary working couple with grown children, looking forward to retirement. On their way home during an evening rain storm, they rescue Tomas Talbert who is from a Parallel universe. Tomas recruits Derek and Margo to join him and his wife Judith in creating a Team whose purpose is to save, not only this world but also his own parallel world. "As on Earth, so in Parallel," becomes the theme of the rescue missions on which they embark. The Parallel from which Tomas and Judith came is scientifically advanced by several hundred years. Derek and Margo are invited to visit the Qualto Parallel, where they are trained for the Missions on which the Qualto Team will send them. With Tomas and Judith, they make use of an advanced cigar-shaped ship and a computer named Bart, making it possible to manage rapid transit utilizing worm holes and space-warp technologies. In addition, the Team is outfitted with inner and outer Suits that provide protection from bullets, bombs, and beatings. In keeping with the Universal Law of Non-Interference, all equipment with which they are supplied is in existence or on the drawing boards of scientists in this world. The message they leave behind becomes their mantra: "Violence begets violence; peace begets peace." Parallel provides the resources and a temporary work crew to change a run-down farm into one of beauty to double as a staging area and hangar for the Ship. Bart, the computer, enables the Team to turn a simple European vacation into a working one as the missions become more dangerous and complex. A few days in London are interrupted by a Mission to Egypt. Their "Chunnel" ride under the English Channel to France is followed by a Mission to Mexico. The Team's touring in France provides "cover" for Missions to Russia, Portugal, China, Germany, and Tanzania-in rapid succession. Mysterious individuals and groups dog their travels, attempting to prevent the Team from completing their Missions.
