According to the oft-quoted proverb: in the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. But what about in the country of the merely severely myopic? What if the one-eyed man has cataracts, and the myoptics have corrective glasses? Stumbling into a world very similar yet also and very different from his own, Will must figure out how to use his figurative one eye to avoid this world's steroid-hyped version of Homeland Security, or at least impress them with a figurative wink and ogle to convince them that his cataracts are something special. Lest you get a wrong impression, the story involves Will's eye only as normal part of his normal anatomy. It does include, though, a caustic foe, a competent cutie co-adventurer, journeys to the moon and Australia, blow-up space dummies, and even a bona fide personal rocket pack. What is not figuratively included is both excitement and thrills. Those are very much literal.
