book created by  Hudnall, James D. (qv) and Paquette, Andrew (qv), set in the  future, a detective named Dexter Green was hired by a family to find  their missing son, who disappeared into a "pocket universe" (created  by scientists for travel purposes), this one being a fantasy world  with wizards, warriors and dragons (much like "Lord of the Rings" or  "Dungeons & Dragons"). The Fox TV series completely does away with  the "fantasy" aspect and uses a setting similar to  _Matrix, The (1999)_ (qv) (which was a huge phenomenon at the time).
