Summary
With a stolen experimental
starship and a pair of advanced synthetic limbs, Hunter isn't
an average bounty hunter. When he accepted the job on a backwater planet, Hunter
thought it would be easy. He and his partner just had to
track down a missing researcher. But when they find her,
she’s fled a quarter of the way around the massive ring
of twenty-seven gates and Hunter realizes all is not as he
was told. That simple realization, and Hunter’s drive for
retribution, kick off a series of adventures leading to the
most important discovery since the fall of the Gate
Age—and put him in direct confrontation with the corp
he’s been running from for the past 10 revolutions. Set in a far distant future,
The 28th Gate is a series of tales that will appeal of fans
who like space marines, space fleets, and military hard
science fiction. The series consists of eight volumes spread
across four seasons telling the story of Hunter’s
struggles against the AAA corporation that created him. Each
volume contains six episodic novelettes each with the action,
character, and plotting of a complete story all crammed into
an espresso-like package, while each season chronicles a
different arc in the overall epic.
