Book description
DOORWAY TO UTOPIA "Beyond that curtain of darkness lies
paradise" That was the promise of the doorway known as the Gholan
Gate, a doorway so ancient that its makers had vanished millions of
years before the first Earthly life crawled out of the primeval oceans.
It was still functioning in the possession of its discoverers. To go
through it was to enter a universe where all your dreams came true -
where your every wish was obeyed, every fantasy became reality, where
you could play God to your heart's content. But there was a price, for
once beyond the Gholan Gate, you would live only in hopes for a second
visit, and a third. . . . And to get the right for that return to
paradise a man would sell his soul, his people, his world. Cap Kennedy
entered THE GHOLAN GATE once . . . and the result became cosmic history.
