THE FOREVER GATE is a five-part novel. There are two ways to enjoy THE FOREVER GATE. The first is to buy all five parts in sequence. The second is to buy the COMPENDIUM, which includes all five short novels and costs less than the total price of the individual works.

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.

“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
