GATEWAY TO HELL'S FURY
The Union of Arcana has expanded through the portals linking parallel universes for over a century and a half. In that time, its soldiers and sorcerers have laid claim to one uninhabited planet after another—all of them Earth, and in the process, the Union has become the most powerful, most wealthy civilization in all of human history. But now the Union's scouts have discovered a new portal, and on its far side lies another human society, Sharona, which has also been exploring the Multiverse, and the first contact between them did not go well. Arcana is horrified by the alien weapons of its sudden opponents, weapons its sorcerers cannot explain, weapons based upon something called . . . science. But Sharona is equally horrified by Arcana's "magical" weapons. Neither side expected the confrontation and each thinks the other fired first. But as the initial disastrous contact snowballs into all-out warfare, both sides can agree on one thing. The portal which brought them together is Hell's Gate itself!
"Magic and high tech collide in this exciting military SF novel from bestseller Weber and Evans, the first of a new series. . . . The authors treat both societies sympathetically and realistically, with human vices and virtues evenly distributed."—Publishers Weekly

Product ReviewLove the book and the series (so far), BUT I'm really disappointed that David Weber has partnered with Linda Evans on this. She is notorious for leaving sequels unfinished, and I fear this series will be left in the dust.
David, if you want to get out of your arrangement with Evans and finish the next book on your own, call me and I'll provide free legal advice and services to help make it happen (assuming you didn't sign something stupid when you went into this joint venture with Evans).Posted on

Product ReviewFantastic reads, both books! I want more in this series. I think he's busy with the Honor Harrington stuff though. This book absolutely deserves a sequel especially with that dang cliff hanger on it. For that matter, while I'm at it, Bahzell books could use another installment too.

Product ReviewThis is a great book, i loved it. BUT there are a few things i didn't like about it. They are the cliffhanger ending, and that there is no mention of the next book. At this rate i dont know if i will ever live to see the next book in this series...and i'm only 18!

Product ReviewDon't get me wrong, I like Weber's work. This cliffhanger ending stuff is utter crap and needs to go away. I almost didn't buy this one after the way Hell's Gate ended. And the Author's page here says he's working on 3 books for 2009 and NONE of them are in this series. I hope that's wrong.
