"Portal is a fast-paced tale that will remind many of classic science fiction from the 1950s and 1960s. If you were a fan of Hal Clement's stories combining world-building and aliens, Poul Anderson's space adventures or Robert Heinlein's tales of competent people in extraordinary circumstances, you will like Portal ... Flint remains one of the leading modern authors of science-fiction, and Spoor establishes himself as a rising presence."--Daily News of Galveston County Praise for previous books in this series:
". . . fast-paced sci-fi espionage thriller . . . light in tone and hard on science . . ." --Publishers Weekly on Boundary "The whole crew from Flint and Spoor's Boundary are back. . . . Tensions run high throughout the Ceres mission . . . a fine choice for any collection." --Publishers Weekly on Threshold "[P]aleontology, engineering, and space flight, puzzles in linguistics, biology, physics, and evolution further the story, as well as wacky humor, academic rivalries, and even some sweet romances." --School Library Journal on Boundary
