Indie Book of the Day Award Winner

The world as we know it is about to end.

Hoodwink Cooper has been sentenced to death. His crime? Attempting to blast a hole in the Forever Gate, the colossal wall that surrounds the city and protects the denizens from the uninhabitable Outside. There's only one problem - he isn't the one who planted the bomb.

His daughter did, at the behest of a secretive society known as the Users.

As the gols, the humanlike automata who have enslaved the humans, prepare to carry out Hoodwink's sentence, the Users plot even greater turmoil. If Hoodwink gives up the ghost without first extricating his daughter from their clutches, she will most likely join him in the afterlife.

What Hoodwink and the Users don't realize is that they are all pawns in a greater game whose stakes are the very survival of humanity itself.

Will Hoodwink escape in time to save his daughter? More importantly, will he break free of the invisible forces that guide him?

Or will he succumb to the domination of his unseen masters and cause the breaking of the world, losing not just his daughter, but everything?

>>>THE FOREVER GATE combines elements of science fiction & fantasy to evoke a unique setting entirely unlike anything you've ever read before. For fans of science fiction, fantasy, and LitRPG.
