A disorienting plunge into the after‑life opens this daring adventure, where the protagonist finds themselves trapped in a radiant, almost intangible space, teetering between darkness and blinding light. With only fragmented voices—Ho‑Hun, Tai‑Joon and the enigmatic “Great Everything”—to guide them, they grapple with a bewildering mixture of pain, exhilaration and the sensation of an invisible body. As strange, glass‑like devices swirl around a flawless, almost ethereal child‑like figure, the narrator begins to suspect that the realm they have entered is a sophisticated, perhaps alien, laboratory rather than a simple after‑world.
The story quickly shifts from sheer terror to a cautious curiosity, as the protagonist learns to sense the presence of unseen hands and the hum of incomprehensible machinery. Through terse, urgent dialogue and vivid sensory details, the narrative builds a sense of imminent discovery—what purpose does this luminous chamber serve, and who are the beings orchestrating the experience? Listeners are drawn into a suspenseful first act that promises both philosophical questions and pulse‑quickening encounters beyond any known horizon.

A lively early Finnish crime and science-fiction pioneer, he brought detective puzzles and futuristic adventures into Finnish-language popular writing. His work moved easily between journalism, mystery, and imaginative speculative fiction.
