“Escape to Infinity” by Karl Zeigfreid (aka, R.L. Fanthorpe). London: John Spencer & Co./Badger Books SF-82 (1963). Cover Art by Henry Fox.
“If man can mutate, why not the Universe itself?”
From the back cover:
Mike Sterne was a man with problems. His environment included an unknown quantity in the form of an eccentric alien scientist and a determined corps of totalitarian militia with orders to liquidate him.
A rigidly imposed authoritarian social structure can only be undermined by a superior ideology. Sterne encountered that ideology on the other side of an electronic gateway through the X dimensions, a gateway to the infinite universe of the microcosm and the macrocosm.
His enemies also discovered a route through the continuum . . . but they didn’t reach the same world that Sterne had found.
This is a scientifically authentic novel dealing with the sophisticated problem of the conflict of men and the conflict of ideals against a compellingly real futuristic background.

Badger Books were published between 1959 and 1967 in a number of genres, predominantly war, westerns, romance, supernatural and science fiction. In common with other “pulp” or mass-market publishers of the time, Badger Books focused on quantity rather than quality. A new title in each of the major genres appeared each month, generally written to tight deadlines by low-paid authors. One of the most remarkable facts about Badger Books is that much of its output was produced by just two authors (using a range of house names and other pseudonyms). John Glasby (over 300 novels and short stories) and Robert Lionel Fanthorpe (over 200 novels and stories). [Wikipedia]
