Description
Four Doorways in or near New Orleans is a non-linear, post-apocalyptic time travel novel, and the first entry into the Four Doorways universe. Fragmented story-lines follow different individuals before, during, and after a cataclysmic extra-dimensional incursion. Ancient monsters, imprisoned somewhere beyond our universe, invade Earth and wipe out humanity. Multiple perspectives, some human, some not, all of them revolving in some way around main protagonists Tom and Pan.
From the book jacket:"The veil that keeps them out is thin, so very thin, and they areall waiting to come over here. Our myths and nightmares come fromsomething real. Our idea of hell? It comes from something real.I know because I have seen it. I have seen them."-From the interview of Tolson Ivy Barnett
Humanity is doomed, but only Tom and his synthetic friend Pan know it. The monsters from our nightmares will use the mysterious Doorways, gashes in the fabric of time and space, to invade our world, making mankind their food and the Earth their wasteland kingdom. Tom and Pan know this because they use the Doorways themselves, traveling across history with a desperate plan to defeat the invaders. But it's a race against time, not to save humanity, but to transform it into something else, something that can survive death and the ages that come after.
Four Doorways in or Near New Orleans weaves together interconnected stories, tales of desperate souls struggling to survive an inevitable invasion and the apocalyptic aftermath. Characters move in and out of each other's lives, their stories finally converging as the world comes to a horrifying end. Those left in the ruins will struggle with the meaning of memory, the nature of time and what it actually means to be human.
