Curiosity propels mild-mannered professor Will and his three friends to the Sahara to excavate a site where radar has 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. 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 survive the journey back to Earth.

"Williamson's artificial creatures are brilliant as always. Lush descriptions and a refreshingly brisk pace buoy the novel." (Publishers Weekly)
"Williamson's combination of SF technological inventiveness and heroic quest is surprisingly successful, offering a neat origin story for humanity, to boot." (Booklist)
I want to recommend this book in the hope that someone who has the concentration and speed of creative mind to fill in the gaps and keep up, can unlock and appreciate the ideas and world, because I suspect that would be epic.
However for me, it's just impossible to follow. Its not at all enjoyable, because every chapters is spoiled and it's contribution never lands.
No idea what is going on, all you get is the echo of whatever is supposed to be going on, after the fact.
Often its like an action book with half the action left out.
The writer had a full picture in their mind, but then never wrote half of that into the book.
It just suddenly leaps from one situation to the next, apparently, but your just mostly left to reason that out.
*It's like the writer was only interested in what is happening to the characters. So if a change isn't yet doing anything to a character you don't get to know about it, and your left shleuthing it out from what the characters condescend to expose to you next. Worse still there are vaguely defined main protagonists, probably, so now the picture narrows even further.*
It's like this was a failed screenplay adapted into a book.
It's such a shame because what is written is well written.
It also doesn't help that the performer mumbles half the time and sounds like they are slouched as they record this. Again what is there is decently performed, it's what's missing from the performance that's the issue.
Impossible to follow. What's there is great what's not, is catastrophic.
