The Union of Arcana has expanded through the portals linking parallel universes for over a century and a half. In that time, its soldiers and sorcerers have laid claim to one uninhabited planet after another, all of them Earth, and in the process, the Union has become the most powerful, most wealthy civilization in all of human history. But all of that is about to come to The Union of Arcana has expanded through the portals linking parallel universes for over At Hells Gate: A Soldiers Journey from War to Peace century and a half. But all of that is about to come to a screeching halt, for the Union's scouts have just discovered a new portal, and on its At Hells Gate: A Soldiers Journey from War to Peace side lies a shattering revelation. Arcana is not alone, after all. There is another human society, Sharona, which has also been exploring the Multiverse, and the first contact between them did not go well. Arcana is horrified by the alien weapons of its sudden opponents, weapons its sorcerers cannot explain or duplicate. Weapons based upon something called. But Sharona is equally horrified by Arcana's "magical" weapons. Neither side expected the confrontation. Both sides think the other fired first, and no one on either side understands the "technology" of the other. But as the initial disastrous contact snowballs into all-out warfare, both sides can agree on one thing. The portal which brought them together is Hell's Gate itself! Get A Copy. Hardcoverpages.

Excellent stuff and with an implied promise of at least two more books with a reasonable ending and obviously more if sales allow it as DW hinted at lots and lots of convolutions, including Dragons exploding through a portal on our Earth at some future timehighly recommended for a fast and addictive read with the usual inventiveness, great characters and all one expects from a David Weber universe novel Dec 15, M Hamed rated it it was amazing Shelves:western-fantasy. Dec 25, Ron rated it liked it Shelves: science-fictionebook. Corrected typos in March At Hells Gate: A Soldiers Journey from War to Peace, This one had four stars in the bag and blew it. An ending which left the reader not hanging on a cliff but tumbling over it. That said, the universes yes, more than one involved were well conceived and developed. That the geography of all of them is identical with the Earth helped the reader locate the action somewhat. The humanoid cast was large, sprawling, and not well enough differentiated from one culture to another. In fact, the bad guys tended to bl Corrected typos in March 23, This one had four stars in the bag and blew it. In fact, the bad guys tended to blur regardless of which side they were on. My inclination is to suggest you read a synopsis of this book and go straight to the second. Despite that, a good space opera, as you'd expect of the author of the At Hells Gate: A Soldiers Journey from War to Peace Harrington books. Addendum after completing Hell Hath No Fury : no,you can't skip this book or read the Wikipedia synopsis. Apr 07, Kathy Davie rated it it was amazing Shelves: sci-fimilitary. First in the start of a new military sci-fi series, the Multiverse. I know, it sounds like a working series title, but it is accurate. My Take The culture shock when Sharona and Arcana encounter each other, not knowing the language of the other, is tremendous with the story a fascinating exploration of how a simple misunderstanding can lead to mistakes that affect the governments of numerous At Hells Gate: A Soldiers Journey from War to Peace and escalate military action. Weber and Evans take full advantage of the variety of human greed a First in the start of a new military sci-fi series, the Multiverse. Weber and Evans take full advantage of the variety of human greed and its kindness to create a complex pair of worlds with characters we love and hate. It will certainly make you question the validity of sides. The story indicates that Shaylar is madly popular on Sharona, so her supposed death rouses the entire planet to overwhelming anger with hordes of men enlisting in the army to avenge her death. But other than that she's the first woman to be part of a survey party which the Portal Authority exploits by using her as the face of their portal exploration marketing efforts, I don't understand why she is so loved and adored.

  • 1: for Me, It Was Personal Names with Too Many of the Letter "Q"
    1: For me, it was personal names with too many of the letter "q", "z", or "x". With apostrophes. Big indicator of "call a rabbit a smeerp"; and generally, a given name turns up on page 1... 2: Large scale conspiracies over large time scales that remain secret and don't fall apart. (This is not *explicitly* limited to SF, but appears more often in branded-cyberpunk than one would hope for a subgenre borne out of Bruce Sterling being politically realistic in a zine.) Pretty much *any* form of large-scale space travel. Low earth orbit, not so much; but, human beings in tin cans going to other planets within the solar system is an expensive multi-year endevour that is unlikely to be done on a more regular basis than people went back and forth between Europe and the americas prior to steam ships. Forget about interstellar travel. Any variation on the old chestnut of "robots/ais can't be emotional/creative". On the one hand, this is realistic because human beings have a tendency for othering other races with beliefs and assumptions that don't hold up to any kind of scrutiny (see, for instance, the relatively common belief in pre-1850 US that black people literally couldn't feel pain). On the other hand, we're nowhere near AGI right now and it's already obvious to everyone with even limited experience that AI can be creative (nothing is more creative than a PRNG) and emotional (since emotions are the least complex and most mechanical part of human experience and thus are easy to simulate).
