In part 1 we begin in a High School English Composition class being taught by a teacher who looks like one of the students. There's no introduction narration box. The teacher's name is Hank Wallace. He holds a Doctorate degree. He doesn't own a car, and rides Boston's 'T' home to his soon-to-be ex wife boxing up the last of his possessions. As he spends his first night in his hotel room the Martians attack.
Hank is greeted by a team of interlopers who are attempting to stop the attack: Hector and Dan. Apparently, the trick is to recite the last line of the book in question to the person dreaming it. That severs the crossover. It's an interesting concept that gives the protagonists a weapon, similar to Quantum Leap where Sam had to align everything back in time to where it belonged so that Al could 'leap' him out of that time continuum and into another.
