The Seven Gates of Peril

High school science teacher Doc Thorson and his students Jack and Penny are hurled from bucolic, peaceful Peabody, Wisconsin to a distant Earth, at the mercy of the warlike and highly competitive Theskulins, who have tracked Doc and determined that the science teacher and his companions are worthy to be hunted as trophies. When Jack and Penny are discovered by two thirteen year-olds friends, they find the unexpected help that could save them. Yet, they realize that by their very presence they are a deadly threat to the peaceful and neighborly people of the world where they have landed. At last the truth about Doc and the mysterious Arch begin to be revealed, as Jack and Penny tie together the facts about their science teacher, the cosmos, and some of the mysteries of the ancient Roman and Greek empires.
