One wrong turn can change everything.

David and Jean Meredith are enjoying a summer drive when a routine highway exit becomes the last ordinary moment of their lives.

Without warning, they find themselves on an alien world beneath a blood-red sun—a world of towering ruins, impossible technology, and creatures that blur the line between wonder and nightmare.

With only the supplies in their little red convertible and each other to rely on, survival becomes their first priority. But every answer they uncover leads to an even deeper mystery.

Who built this forgotten civilization?

Why was it abandoned?

And is there any road that leads home?

Filled with suspense, exploration, memorable characters, and the sense of wonder that made classic science fiction unforgettable, The Turnoff takes readers on an extraordinary journey where the greatest discoveries lie just beyond the next bend in the road.
