Annoyingly, the endings of all the books in the series are in 'What Lay Beyond'.

A very New Frontier entry in the Gateways saga that juggles a good number of threads, and mostly well.
4/5 Maybe a bit crowded, but the overall story is still served.

I bought this because I wanted to read all the books in the New Frontier series by Peter David. And, as far as the various "Gateways" books are concerned, this was a damned good one. All that said, I don't like cliffhangers much, and hate obvious ploys to make me buy more even less: the book doesn't have an ending.
Worse, the six Gateways books all were like this - and only ended with short stories in a collected hardcover volume. Ouch. Not a very kind thing to do. Still, I nabbed this, read it, enjoyed it well enough, but hey - it's Calhoun and Shelby, married, on alternate ships, very well written.
