| Quinn, Rembrandt and Maggie slide into the middle of a demolition site
just as an explosive charge is triggered. Maggie wakes up to find that
she and the others are home, back on Earth Prime and the humans have beaten
the Kromaggs! But have they? In truth the sliders are in a hospital ward,
immersed in a virtual reality fantasy designed to accelerate their healing.
To their horror our heroes learn that during their convalescence they missed
the sliding window. They are stuck on this world for twenty-nine years!
Not prepared to accept defeat, the trio set out to build a new sliding device. But this world uses VR for everything from recreation to medicine, and Quinn and Rembrandt are easily drawn by its allure. Maggie must struggle to break them of a virtual reality addiction before it completely incapacitates them, erasing any chance of escaping this world
