SORCERY, SCIENCE, AND SHADOWS Pel Brown knew nothing about parallel universes, let alone travel between them. Then he stepped through a portal that appeared in his basement--and his life turned upside down. That first inexplicable doorway took him into a magic world called Faerie, ruled by the evil and mysterious Shadow. Another portal provided escape to a world of science and spaceships--and ruthless space pirates plundering the Galactic Empire. Imperial forces rescued Pel. They would even send him home--but only after he returned to Faerie and destroyed Shadow. And so, with wizards, spacemen, and swordsmen as his unlikely allies, Pel set out to beard the enemy in its stronghold. But real life is what happens while you're making other plans--as Pel learned when he uncovered his malign foe's true nature... From the Paperback edition.… (more)

I enjoyed this series, though I seem to be in the minority. Its not an unusual concept, the series starts on Earth and the characters discover that there are parallel worlds with different levels of technology, including magic. All worlds are threatened by the mysterious Shadow, and Pel Brown and his companions are forced to confront the Shadow before they can return home. ( )
