The Nebula Award-winning author of the Alex Benedict novels and the
Priscilla Hutchins novels returns to the world of Ancient Shores in a
startling and majestic epic.
A star gate more than ten thousand years old has been discovered on a
Sioux reservation in North Dakota. Travel through the gate currently
leads to three equally mysterious destinations: (1) an apparently empty
garden world, dubbed Eden; (2) a maze of underground passageways; or (3)
a space station with a view of a galaxy that appears to be the Milky
Way.
The race to explore and claim the star gate quickly escalates, with
those involved dividing into opposing camps who view the teleportation
technology either as an unprecedented opportunity for scientific
research or a disastrous threat to security. In the middle of the
maelstrom stands Sioux Chairman James Walker. One thing is for certain:
Questions about what the star gate means for humanity's role in the
galaxy cannot be ignored.
Especially since travel through the star gate isn't necessarily only one
way...
