وصف الناشر
The Nebula Award–winning author of the Alex Benedict novels and the Priscilla Hutchins novels returns to the world of Ancient Shores in a startling and majestic epic.
A working stargate dating back more than ten thousand years has been discovered in North Dakota, on a Sioux reservation near Devils Lake. Travel through the gate currently leads to three equally mysterious destinations: (1) an apparently empty garden world, quickly dubbed Eden; (2) a strange maze of underground passageways; or (3) a space station with a view of a galaxy that appears to be the Milky Way.
The race to explore and claim the stargate quickly escalates, and those involved divide into opposing camps who view the teleportation technology either as an unprecedented opportunity for scientific research or a disastrous threat to national—if not planetary—security. In the middle of the maelstrom stands Sioux chairman James Walker. One thing is for certain: Questions about what the stargate means for humanity’s role in the galaxy cannot be ignored.
Especially since travel through the stargate isn’t necessarily only one way...

Congratulations
This novel make me so happy i dont want it to end, thanks for the wonderful worlds you created.
Pointless
I'm beginning to realize jack McDevitt enjoys leaving his readers with unsatisfying conclusions to his books. This story is no exception. No lessons were learned, no progress was made. Time was expended. Nothing more.
Terribly boring
Not really a science fiction story at all. Just local politics in North Dakota. As you can imagine, that makes for a very boring read. So much potential, but too much focus on the locals back on planet earth.
