Entropy Gate

Someone asked about a fifth book in the series. It's actually a collections of short stories that I have been periodically working on. They are important stories for the series, but they don't really have to be included with the four books.

HOPE - the story of the doomed ship that first travelled secretly to Venus to explore the Entropy Gate.

GIFTED - originally written for the nanowrimo contest I participated in. Originally titled First Gate. Perhaps some of the very worst writing I have ever done. I liked the initial story but it went oh so horribly wrong. It tells the story of how the pine cone winds up on the planet that lies beyond the Entropy Gate. (that last comment makes sense only if you've read BEYOND.

ICONS - the story of the origins of the pinecone...takes place in Italy during the Italian Renaisance. Michaelangelo has a cameo.
