"Zehru of Xollar" by Hal K. Wells is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around three Earthlings, thrust into a surreal inter-dimensional adventure after being captured by an alien scientist named Zehru. Their journey highlights the themes of survival and the complexities of crossing between vastly different worlds. The narrative begins with Robert Blake and Helen Lawton, who are unexpectedly transported from a New York subway station to a strange enclosure on a planet called Xollar. There, they encounter bizarre creatures controlled by a gelatinous core and realize they are at the mercy of Zehru, a monstrous being intent on escaping his own planet by inhabiting one of their bodies. As Blake and his companions navigate the horrors of Xollar and confront the alien beings, they engage in a desperate battle for survival. After defeating the creatures with a strategic insight into their biology, Blake ultimately confronts Zehru, who meets his demise under the unfolding dangers of the atmosphere. In a final act of urgency, Blake and Helen activate a gate that transports them back to Earth, just as the alien facility's destruction is set in motion. The story concludes with their safe return, escaping the sinister plans of Zehru and the chaos of another universe. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
