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 all of that is about to come to a screeching halt, for the Union's scouts have just discovered a new portal, and on its far side lies a shattering revelation. Arcana is not alone, after all. There is 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 or duplicate. Weapons based upon something called . . . science. But Sharona is equally horrified by Arcana's "magical" weapons. Neither side expected the confrontation. Both sides think the other fired first, and no one on either side understands the "technology" of the other. 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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Multi-verse SciFi?
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2014
Good story concept, Multi-universe with one group having Technology and the other group has Magic.

The problem is the authors have only written Two Books of the series and left their readers hanging waiting for another installment or a conclusion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good early novel
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2005
You can see the style of his writing as compared to his more recent novels is very similar. He even has a golden retrever in this book. Not bad for a short novel either.
