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?

A high-ranking DIA operative has been kidnapped in Iraq by the Islamic State, and with her, secrets that could bring about the collapse of major intelligence-gathering networks throughout the region. Can Ethan Galaal find her before it's too late? Samantha Rond, head of an ultra-secretive branch of the DIA's Defense Clandestine Service in the Middle East, has gone missing during a key operation. Her last known location: the occupied city of Mosul, the war-ravaged heart of the Islamic State in Iraq. Ethan Galaal and his elite team of undercover operatives are dispatched to rescue Samantha. Officially, he and his men don't exist. Unofficially, Sam is their boss, however in her absence the team reports directly to the Secretary of Defense. Their years of experience in operating incognito in the region make them the ideal candidates for the rescue mission. But first they have to find Sam. Setbacks exist at every turn. Surrounded by enemies and unsure of whom to trust, Ethan soon begins to suspect that a rogue non-state actor has been advising the Islamic State in Mosul. Will he find her before the interrogators extract everything of value and destroy Sam's mind? Or will elements of the rogue faction hunt down Ethan and his team first, bringing the rescue mission to a spectacularly premature end?

Officially, Ethan Galaal doesn't exist. Very few people can do what he does and do it well. Maybe a handful in the entire world. As the DIA's most valuable undercover operative, his missions span multiple roles that blur the lines between case officer, private investigator, kidnapper and assassin. His specialty is that frothing cesspit of war and tyranny known as the Middle East. He has been sent to gather intel on the latest threat in the region: the Islamic State. Posing as a Saudi Arabian jihadist, he gains entry into the brutal regime, but it will take all his cunning and mental fortitude to survive. One mistake, one slip of the tongue, and he is as good as dead. As he descends deeper into the morally reprehensible heart of the Islamic State, surrounded by enemies and unable to leave, Ethan wonders if the operation was a mistake. When he meets the beautiful yet mysterious Alzena, the repressed neighbor of one of his targets, Ethan must decide if he will risk everything to get her out. And he thought the mission was difficult before...
