This is the money-saving COMPENDIUM edition.
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."*

★★★★★ "I've never read an indie author. Until now. So imagine my surprise when I found Isaac's The Forever Gate was not only not sludge, it was pretty darn good." - ScienceFiction-Lit.com
★★★★★ "I normally go for established authors.. this time, however, I got my hands on a short novel by indie author Isaac Hooke, called The Forever Gate, and I am very glad I did. I found myself immediately sucked in to the narrative. I actually enjoyed the story so much that I felt like giving it a bit of publicity." - BookReviewsGuru.com
★★★★★ "The Forever Gate is a fast-paced, thoughtful, and extremely well-written foray into the F/SF genre. I highly recommend this book." - WJ Davies, author of Binary Cycle
★★★★★ "Every chapter has something suspenseful happening, making the book very hard to put down, and Isaac's writing style flows like few others. To top it all off, the editing was superb. I was never bored or disappointed." - Jasper Scott, author of Dark Space
★★★★★ "I like my fiction the way I like my single-malt scotch--complex, unpredictable, with a long, lingering hint of things to come on the palate. With this in mind, the Forever Gate is easily comparable to an Aberlour 12 Year Old, Double Cask. In other words, one of the finest drams of fiction you'll ever stick your nose in." - *Tammy Salyer, author of Spectras Arise Trilogy
*★★★★ "The author does a good job of quickly getting you into the heads of the characters and feeling like you are right in the middle of it." - Michael Gallagher (AMAZON TOP 10 REVIEWER, HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
