Adventures into the Unknown #63

Steven Marlowe, a brilliant and tireless scientist, has spent months perfecting a revolutionary circular spacecraft with atomic power—only to discover that only impossibly tiny versions can survive the stresses of outer space. When he trains his new prismatic telescope on the distant cosmos, he spots a previously unknown planet in the 17th Quadrant and becomes obsessed with reaching it, despite the overwhelming obstacles that stand in his way. What awaits him among the stars will test everything he believes about science and the limits of human exploration.

When young Davey encounters a tiny gnome on Gnome Hill during a summer vacation, he stumbles into a hidden world that only he can see—a thriving colony of mythical creatures living in a hollow cave at the hill's peak. As Davey befriends the wary tribe and teaches them human games, he discovers they face a far greater threat: a construction crew plans to dynamite the hilltop to build a new road. Racing against time, Davey must find a way to save his new friends from destruction.
