A bit of a slow start but develops into a very creative Scifi experience.

The Stonehenge Gate by Jack Williamson, I found this book while just searching through the sci-fi section and thought it sounded pretty good , a book about using the stonehenge type stones as portals so i grabbed it up not knowing this could very well have been the last written novel by the author.

If your looking for a quick adventure thats actually quite good, then this is it. I only gave it 4 stars because it should have been a two or three book series with a little bit more charcater development and maybe splitting scenes and following some of the characters at the same time, exploring and viewing the worlds these adventurers are on. But as it was its a quick book and fairly easy to follow.

Some of the technology they find is a bit hard to beleive but others at time felt right in place. The author might have intended to follow up on the story with more of the adventure but we will never know. I'm a fan of artifacts and this book falls into both adventure and one about artifacts. Enjoy

I wish I could give this a 0 rating. I read the first 100 or so pages. It sounded like Stargate only not nearly as interesting. Then I skimmed over the next 150 or so pages - some pointless and boring fight among a bunch of aliens. Kinda like Stargate. Then I read the rest of the book. It was all rather dull and pointless. I should have taken my first urge at quitting the book.

Jack Williamson was a Grand Master of the SFWA. "Stonehenge" was his last novel. Four college professors, poker buddies in New Mexico, discover a trilithon in the Sahara Desert. It works as a portal to another planet, whether by space travel or time travel is unclear at first. Dangerous circumstances cause a split into two teams -- and the dangers increase.
