Publisher's summary

Darren Stewart, a NASA director, and his wife, Tracey, a former presidential press secretary, have been missing for three years along with their fellow time travelers, ever since they departed in a refurbished time ship and traveled to a point in time nearly a thousand years ago to explore the Anasazi culture at Chaco Canyon during its peak. Darren and Tracey planned to study the water conservation techniques of the Anasazi and to learn the reason for that culture’s mysterious and abrupt disappearance. Archaeo-astronomer Jane Bowen wanted to prove the Chaco pueblos concealed an enigmatic alignment with the Gate of God—located at the crossing of the Milky Way and the pathway of the planets, the ecliptic. Another traveler, Aaron Eaglecloud, a Hopi shaman, longed to discover the roots of his Native American mythology. Waiting anxiously at home for the return of his parents, Dwy and family friend, Skeeter, worry that the travelers are marooned and face starvation or even death from the marauding enemies of the Chaco natives. Perhaps not even their faith can return them safely home. Daniel Logan Daniel Logan and his wife, Connie, recently returned to Texas after spending a few years in Logan’s home state of Indiana. Revisiting the vast, starry nights in Texas inspired Logan to write about the two great stellar gates named in antiquity—the Gate of God and the Gate of Man—and about the confluence of ancient mythology, science and faith they represent. The Spirit Gate is Logan’s concluding novel in his three-part, Ancient Secrets series. Logan’s fascination with the prehistoric Anasazi culture in the Southwest at Chaco Canyon and his interest in time-travel, astronomy and humankind’s role within the immense universe compelled him to write a story that brings all these elements together.
