The Gate (Gate)

Rating:
Summary: Intriguing concept.
Review: I enjoyed this book. Brought up several things I had to consider-- one was the Japanese atomic bomb program in WWII. The other was the idea of deals being made at the end of that war. Maybe the decision to drop our bomb occurred for reasons we'll never know. The story was set in present day San Francisco but it covered a lot of history.

Summary: GREAT READ
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I had not heard about the Japanese atomic bomb program in World War II. Went to the library to check on this and there seems to be more truth to this work of fiction than appears. Would make a great movie! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Summary: Outstanding, action-packed adventure tale
Review: The Gate was an excellant, thrill-packed literary ride. A splendid mixture of fictional action and actual or imagined historical events. Being a native of San Francisco, I paid attention to his geographic details and found only a couple of minor ones. The action, the drama, dialog and characters were well-paced and fleshed out just enough to keep the story going. North Korean commandos, Yakuza killers, rogue CIA gunmen, wacko milita-types, murder, great plot-twists, mayhem and a great plot were all handled exceptionally well. Mr. McGuire has a minor thriller classic here. A terrific film if done correctly. I finished this one and promptly began reading The Line. Entertaining page-turning nighttime reading. Check it out.
