The Gate to Htrae

"The Gate to Htrae" is an enthralling young adult novel that transports readers to a mirror-image world in the far reaches of the universe. Get ready to embark on a fantastical adventure with a young protagonist as he sets off on the journey of a lifetime. Introducing readers to demonic warriors, fallen angels, and more fantastical elements, this is a can't-miss hit that you won't be able to put down.

An ancient gate rises majestically on the hillside above fifteen-year-old Alex's home. It is locked-- rather odd since there's no fence or wall. For the umpteenth time, Alex tries to open it, just for the sake of opening this useless old gate. As his younger brother Drew taps a melody on the thumb latch, Alex sings a strange little ditty. A golden key appears and floats to Alex's lap. He picks it up. His hand becomes translucent. Shocked by the sight of his bones, veins, and tendons, he throws it down. Drew hollers, "Don't be a scaredy-cat. Open the gate!" Summoning his courage, Alex unlocks the gate, steps through... and disappears. He has entered Htrae, Earth's mirror image. Readers will want to join him on Htrae. Mind you, Htrae is at war with Natas and his demons, but readers will be safe. Pure Light will protect them through "The Gate to Htrae".

About the Author
For years author Kerry Gough sat in his hot tub once or two times a week, gazed at the stars, and waited to be abducted by friendly aliens and taken to visit their world. The UFO has yet to arrive. Refusing to abandon his fantasy, Gough created Htrae, Earth's mirror image world in the far reaches of the universe. Gough is a retired civil rights lawyer. He is married, has three children and five grandchildren, for whom this book has been written. His wife Leila has been instructed not to worry if some evening she steps out to the deck and Kerry is not in the hot tub. He promises to return after exploring Htrae and other worlds that we can only imagine.

His most treasured memories from his years of lawyering and thousands of appearances before His Honor are not of the substantial verdicts won for victims of race and sex discrimination, but rather of the occasional remark by the judge upon conclusion of his legal argument, "Very creative, Mr. Gough".
