The Stonehenge Gate

By Jack Williamson
The Stonehenge Gate by Jack Williamson digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A dark mystery has been buried beneath the sands of the Sahara desert since the beginning of time. In a basement in New Mexico, four poker buddies find reason to believe that a startling secret is out there. . .

These four amateur adventurers are about to uncover the key that could unlock the vast reaches of the universe.

A sudden burst of curiosity propels mild-mannered English professor Will and his three friends to the Sahara to excavate a site where radar has evidently detected trilithic stones hidden beneath the sand. There they stumble upon an ancient artifact that will change their lives, and the world, forever...a gateway between planets, linking Earth to distant worlds where they will discover wonders and terrors beyond imagining.

Jack Williamson, the dean of science fiction writers, weaves an exciting tale that takes the friends to the far corners of the universe. One leads an oppressed people to freedom. Another uncovers clues that could identify a long-dormant civilization of immortal beings. Now each traveler must play a crucial role in unraveling an ancient mystery, the solution to which may reveal the true origins of the human race.

If they can just survive their journeys back to Earth . . .

The Stonehenge Gate Reviews

4.5
Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“This was such a fun story!! It definitely had the vibes of "Alice in Wonderland," but in space, especially when they first went into the trilithons. I loved the descriptions of thr worlds they traveled to, the multicolored moving road was so cool! Very Mario cart lol. The 4 main characters, Will, Ram, Lupe, and Derek all worked well together, with distinct personalities (Will is quiet/reserved, Ram is stoic/realist, Lupe is a skeptical/adventurous, and Derek is curious/optimistic) Derek is definitely my favorite. I loved how excited, intrigued, curious, and optimistic he was! I was disappointed when he vanished from the journey in the middle. Same with Lupe, wish we could have spent more time with her. But it did give Will some time shine. Even though the book is told from his perspective, he didnt really talk a lot in the beginning, which seemed odd. Personally, I felt the middle dragged a bit since they were stuck on one planet, but it grew on me, especially with the introduction to characters such as Celia and Kenleth (sorry about spelling, listened to this one), and the action of the rebellion and disease outbreak. Kenleth was such a good addition to the group, such a wonderful kid. In my head, he was the Corn Kid from that one Recess Therapy video from a few years back lol. On the other characters, the tragic romance between Ram and Celia was a nice addition. I loved watching the group figure out the trilithons and how all of the artifacts and space tech came to be, especially seeing how excited they got. Will definitely grew as a character, he had a solid arc, same with Ram and fulfilling his destiny. I could see this being a movie or TV show! Probably gonna draw some fanart of this one! (As many of the books Ive been reading since April, I discovered this book since it was narrated by Harlan Ellison. Once again, he has a lovely narration. To be fair, Im gonna love anything he reads, he has such a good voice for it lol!)”
“Great book! This was my first Jack Williamson story. I will definitely check out more of his work.”
