Synopsis

In a basement in New Mexico, four poker buddies and amateur adventurers who have discovered a dark mystery buried beneath the sands of the Sahara desert decide to do something about it. In the deep Sahara, they find an ancient artifact that will change their lives and the world, forever a gateway between planets that links Earth to distant worlds where they discover wonders and terrors beyond their wildest imagination. Jack Williamson, the dean of science fiction writers, masterfully weaves an exciting tale that takes the friends to the far corners of the universe. While one leads an oppressed people towards freedom, another uncovers clues that could identify a long-dormant super-advanced civilization of immortal beings, and the key to the origin of life on Earth."

Media Reviews
The amazingly durable Jack Williamson turn out another wild, old style adventure story. There aren't many writers producing this kind of wild, inventive excitement any more, but Williamson proves to be as effective as ever. -- Chronicle on The Stonehenge Gate One of Williamson's strongest and most entertaining -- SF Review on The Stonehenge Gate In Jack Williamson's The Stonehenge Gate, a quartet of poker-playing academics decide to check out a circle of trilithons (yeah, that Stonehenge) revealed under Sahara sands by ground-penetrating radar. Yep, they're gates, and they go to different places, with different humans and Earthlike life. They also go to machine-guarded cities and strange binary planets and other circles of trilithons. As you might expect from an author who's been in print in nine decades now, it's a well-crafted story. --The San Diego Union-Tribune I have no hesitation in placing Jack Williamson on a plane with two other American giants, Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein. --Arthur C. Clarke on Jack Williamson Jack Williamson is a man of extraordinary talent and consummate humility, of penetrating intelligence and great kindness, a scholar and a gentleman. --Connie Willis, author of Doomsday Book, on Jack Williamson Jack Williamson's work, spanning most of the century, has inspired countless minds. --David Brin, author of Startide Rising and The Postman, on Jack Williamson This man can do anything. --Frederik Pohl, author of Gateway, on Jack Williamson A pioneering writer, breaking ground in new areas long before most of us had learned how to read. --Ben Bova, author of Venus, on Jack Williamson Jack Williamson is one of those fortunate, gifted writers whose readers feel their lives changed because of his work. -- The New York Review of Science Fiction on Jack Williamson
