Open Gate

About the Book

Rachael Johnson is soon to graduate from college and begin the rest of her life. Today her biggest worries are dirt and bugs as her friend James drags her underground to go exploring. What she didn’t expect was to find an abandoned city on another planet. 

It’s the chance for the human race to leave Earth and have breathing room. A place for the explorers at heart to blaze new trails. 

But Rachael is torn—does she call the police or block the cave? Will James agree? How can they keep this secret? How can they not? 

And what about the original owners of this new-found world? Where are they, and are they wanting visitors? And don’t forget about the universe of other planets a few short steps away. 

Now government is breaking down, there is rioting in the streets and there are roadblocks everywhere. The authorities have decided to arrest them on site. Their decision just might be made for them. 

Influenced by Heinlein’s juveniles, Open Gate is a Science Fiction adventure that will appeal to all ages from teens to adults. 

About the Author

Bruce Dillahunty
Bruce C. Dillahunty

A voracious reader all my life, much of my interest has revolved around the classic Science Fiction. Introduced early to the "Golden Age" authors of Heinlein, E.E."Doc" Smith, etc., their outlook and viewpoints have inspired much in my fiction (and 'real world' life).

I wrote stories as a kid, but moved into programming and the business world, leaving that creative outlet behind. An active member and volunteer in my church, I have participated in script writing, drama productions and lighting and technical pursuits. More recently published in online and print boating magazines, I have finally returned to fiction.
