Isaac Renco is a television reporter who loves his job. After he gets his camera-woman pregnant, his girlfriend kicks him out of the house. Having just had one of the worst days of his entire life, he desperately wants to get away from it all. Thankfully, a key helps him do just that. Isaac winds up on an island on another world with strange people, a new friend, a computer that answers questions about anything except the rest of the planet, and an oracle who will only answer three questions each day. There is something weird going on, he is sure of it. Preternatural buzzards, a Ghost Child with some unusual knowledge, the Tower of Babel, the Alexandrian Library, and the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World contain secrets Isaac just cannot leave alone ... and he will go anywhere, pay any price, to solve the mystery.
