Publisher's summary

What lies beyond the 11th gate....

Despite economic and territorial tensions, no one wants the city-states of the Eight Worlds to repeat the Terran collapse by going to war. But when war accidentally happens, everyone seeks ways to exploit it for gain. The Landry and Peregoy ruling dynasties see opportunities to grab territory, increase profits, and settle old scores. Exploited underclasses use war to fuel rebellion. Ambitious heirs can finally topple their elders’ regimes - or try to.

But the unexpected key to either victory or peace lies with two persons uninterested in conquest, profits, or power. Philip Anderson seeks only the transcendent meaning of the physics underlying the universe. Tara Landry, spoiled and defiant youngest granddaughter of dynasty head Rachel Landry, accidentally discovers an 11th star-jump gate, with a fabulous find on the planet behind it. Her discovery, and Philip’s use of it, alter everything for the Eight Worlds.

Best book I've listened to all year.

Loved it. excellent audio book. best book I've listened to all year so far. refreshing story. an actual original story, not endless mindless space battles. kinda freeky deeky though during this covid-19 zombie apocalypse. prophetic lol. great narrator. a really great break from the mindless repetitive galaxy war space opera drivel we've been getting lately. i love the characters and structure of the situational politics. i hope there's a sequel in the future. i don't write many reviews, this one really hit home with me. - WML US NAVY RETIRED
