Beneath the Gates

Book excerpt: Who created the mysterious arches, referred to on nearly every planet on the far side of galaxy as the "Gates of Life?" Archaeologists and xenobiologists of every ilk seek funding to uncover the baffling origin of these towering gates' existence. One culture retains the practice of carrying newborns beneath the Gates. Others tore them down. On a few worlds, the Gates are feared or worshipped. The consistency of the ruins points to a single use and advanced creators. But who built them, and why? What prompted all the fear surrounding their existence? If ancient conspiracy theories hold true, the Gates are remnants of unlawful genetic modification undertaken during humanity's earliest space exploration. Or perhaps an extraterrestrial intelligence created them to transform humankind. Chase the unsolved mystery with a peek at working Gates on the planet Stachien in The Last Vhalgenn. On Ust, in Trailing Kaiwulf, catch up with Dr. Post, an archaeologist whose discovery opens a gate of its own. This bundle mixes fantasy, archaeology, science fiction, and mythology. It includes full versions of The Last Vhalgenn and Trailing Kaiwulf, plus exclusive bonus stories, access to secrets behind the story, and inside peeks at the unfolding series.
