As Isaac Hooke's debut work, THE FOREVER GATE originally started life as a 21,000 word experimental science fiction novella. In the first two weeks of its release, that novella sold 1,000 copies without any promotion whatsoever. What began as an experiment turned out to be something of a cult hit. Isaac Hooke decided to expand upon the concept presented in the novella, and the serial was born. Each volume consistently shot to the top of the Amazon short-story best-seller list. Soon, book reviewers who ordinarily don't read indie works gave it rave reviews. People wrote fan fiction for it. On March 20, 2013, it won the Indie Book of the Day award. The serial quite literally developed a life of its own.
ABOUT THE FOREVER GATE:
3740 A.D. The ice age has immobilized the world. Colossal walls seal off the cities from the uninhabitable Outside. Humanlike entities called "gols" run society, and force the humans to wear collars that block the innate powers humankind has evolved.
What one man will do to save the woman he loves could destroy his world.
THE FOREVER GATE combines elements of science fiction & fantasy to create a unique world entirely unlike anything you've seen before. Here's what reviewers are saying:
"Picked up the first installment, as I often do with indies. When I finished that, I went right back and bought 2, 3 and 4, reading them right through."
"I have been an avid sci-fi reader since childhood, and THE FOREVER GATE really grabbed me. I love a story in which the nature of reality is questioned, and turns out to be stranger than almost anyone can imagine."
"THE FOREVER GATE made my blood pump, and gave me a lot to think about when I was finished. Which is basically all I'm asking for in a story."
"Isaac Hooke is two parts Philip K. Dick, one part Asimov, three parts Dan Brown, and four parts good fun."
THE FOREVER GATE COMPENDIUM EDITION INCLUDES:
THE FOREVER GATE PARTS 1 - 5. 160,000 words. 600 pages. Strap yourself in, because the mind-bending thrill ride that explores what it means to be human has only just begun.

"One of the best books I've ever read, and probably the best I've read so far this year." - Englishwrittenportrait.com "Couldn't put it down! What a joyous read. 5 stars and I'd give it more if I could..." - Cal Garrison, editor of the Spirit of Maat Magazine Zoey and Coda are like everyone else in their small town of Gladstone, but that's about to change — forever. Zoey has a dream, one that feels far more real than it should. A strange wolf with a beautiful, violet crystal embedded on his forehead visits her. "Please help us," the wolf implores with sad eyes. "Remember, Zoey, who you truly are." Zoey wakes up, dismissing it as a silly dream. However, she soon realizes that it was far more real than she could have ever imagined. Coda is Zoey's older brother. Like most boys his age, he has a craving for adventure and a loathing for his younger sister. He can't stand it that she constantly gets in his way, joining in on all of his fun while ruining it in the process. The worst, according to Coda, is that Zoey gets all of the attention from their parents. A big drag in his mind. Then destiny arrives. Zoey and Coda find that they must face it together — if they want to survive. Together, they journey to a place deep in the Cornell Forest, beyond the Snow Tree and through a blackberry bush, to a secret portal that leads them to an ancient world called Ohm Totem — to the place of the PureLights, the race that beckoned for their help. There, Zoey and Coda find that they hold something so unique, so magical, and so sacred within themselves that even those who called for them never fathomed how powerful these two children really are. Caught between an age old war and finding their way back home, Zoey and Coda go on an amazing adventure that takes them beyond the veils of everything they once knew, and into the terrifying grasp of the unknown. With the storytelling creativity of authors like C.S. Lewis of The Chronicles of Narnia and the writing ability of Erin Hunter of the Warriors and Seekers Series, Brandon Ellis offers a wonderful debut with this first book proving him to be a talented, ingenious storyteller. He's an author to watch. If you like the PureLights of Ohm Totem, Book 1, you won't want to miss The PureLights and the PureLight Order, Book 2.** Views: 28
