What Lay Beyond by Peter David & Diane Carey

Description: The authors of all six previous Gateways volumes (Christie Golden, Keith R.A. Decandido, Diane Carey, Peter David, Bob Greenberger, Susan Wright) reveal the ultimate secrets that lie behind the Gates in an awesome conclusion to the seven-part crossover saga. Created by an incalculably ancient civilisation whose transcendent technology is quantum levels beyond that of the Federation and its allies, the newly discovered Gateways offer instantaneous transportation across the stars. Their sudden reactivation has destabilised relations between planets and cultures hitherto separated by countless light years. Starfleet's finest have coped with the crisis as best they can, but circumstances have forced a handful of valiant commanders, one after another, to make the leap through separate Gateways into the unknown. All these brave heroes have taken the ultimate gamble and hurled themselves bodily into a Gateway with no knowledge or forwarning of what they will find on the other side. Each must face a unique personal challenge and find their own way back to the ships and the homes they left behind. And beyond at least one of the Gates are their mysterious and primordial architects, the ageless Iconians themselves... As each character discovers What Lay Beyond, the Gateways saga is brought to its magnificent and compelling conclusion.
