Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Weak writing and a lack of clarity make this book less focused than its predecessor, The Golden Queen, though fans should get a charge out of the continuing adrenaline-packed adventures of the ever-charming Gallen, Maggie and Orick, the talking bear. Gallen rushes almost directly from his wedding to Maggie through the World Gate so that he can protect Ceravanne, a youthful Tharrin whose genetic enhancements are still no match for the powers of the diabolical Inhuman, who seeks to rule humanity through psychophysiological manipulation. Meanwhile, the alien Dronons that Gallen defeated in the first book are seeking him, hoping to destroy him and Maggie in a rematch. While this novel flirts with more complex moral choices than its prequel, Wolverton eventually drops the ambiguities and opts for a book more notable for brisk action than for philosophical fine points.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Journey still continues ....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beyond the Gate (The Golden Queen, Book Two) (Paperback)
I just finish reading Beyond the Gate, today, and boy was was I amazed! The excitement, and action-packed adventure is still there! This time Gallen O'Day, his girlfriend, now wife, Maggie Flynn, and there very good friend Orrick the talking bear, are on a journey to Tremonthin, a very distant planet to help a Tharrin woman, Ceravenne. Gallen, Maggie, Orrick and their new friend Tallea, as well as Ceravenne, set out to do go, and have a hell of a time getting to their distination. If you've read the first book, The Golden Queen, then I recommend that you read Beyond the Gate, cause it's just as exciting, with alittle romance thrown into it. Enjoy!!
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Beyond the Gate (The Golden Queen, Book Two) (Paperback)
I enjoyed this middle novel in the Golden Queen trilogy. It has doesn't have quite the same wide scope as the other two books, but is fun to read. I sometimes got lost in the ethical discussions. But the story is fast paced and intriguing and the characters ring true to what Wolverton had set up in the first novel. I highly recommend it!
