The epic conclusion to the Forever Gate saga. Hoodwink risks everything to destroy the Satori mothership in orbit. Tanner hunts down the rogue Children responsible for the upheaval on the Inside. Ari battles Amoch's army in a desperate last stand to save the city of Kismet. Three perilous paths. One death-defying journey to save us all.

Hoodwink reunites with Ari and Tanner as the Satori mothership bears down on Ganymede. Meanwhile, Amoch's army plots death and destruction on the Inside, drawing much needed resources away from the battle against the aliens. Desperate times require desperate plans. Are Hoodwink, Ari and Tanner up for the task? Of course they are. That is, until a few old enemies show up.

Hoodwink returns to Earth to find the world conquered by the alien race known as the Satori. The few humans who remain are oppressed, little more than slaves waiting to house the consciousnesses of their Satori masters. Robots patrol the streets and drones rule the skies, keeping the populace in check. More than anything Hoodwink wants to journey to Ganymede to help Ari and Tanner, but he is trapped on that bleak planet. So instead he assumes human form and joins other Satori surrogates in one of the conquered cities. Eventually he comes to terms with his new life and accepts that humanity cannot be saved. And then one day he meets a strange woman who changes everything.

Ari and Tanner investigate a series of peculiar occurrences in the virtual world of the Inside that point to the rebirth of One, the rogue AI that nearly destroyed them all in the last adventure. Soon Ari and Tanner find themselves embroiled in a plot that could lead to all out war on the Inside. Hibernating colonists begin to awaken en masse from the digital world, straining the already meager resources of the generation ship that houses them. If Ari and Tanner do not prevail, the last vestiges of humankind could be wiped from the galaxy, their sole legacy: a lifeless generation ship lying in pieces on the Jovian moon of Ganymede.

At the end of Book 4, Hoodwink returned to the Outside and departed in a small vessel, apparently abandoning Tanner and the rest of humanity to their fate. Now Tanner must fight alone against the threat raged by One, the rampant, seemingly invincible AI. Will Tanner find a way to defeat the AI before the world of the Inside is completely destroyed? Meanwhile, will Hoodwink save the daughter he gave up everything for and, more importantly, will he betray humanity to do it?

The mission to retrieve the Control Room resulted in failure. Tanner awoke on the Outside, with Ari apparently dead and three lethal machines closing in on his position. Even if he escapes the machines he only has five minutes of oxygen left. And Ari is gone, so none of it matters anyway. Yet Tanner refuses to give up. He's not going to let the story end like this. Not if he can help it.

With air quickly running out on the Outside, Ari and taner struggle to complete the mission for the Control Room before it is too late. Unbeknownst to them, Jeremy has dispatched a four-armed assassin, Brute, to hunt them down. Will they find the box in time, or will brute dismember them piece by piece as their bodies die of hypoxia in the real world?
