Thunderbird

In this epic tale by the Nebula Award-winning author, a recently discovered 10,000-year-old stargate on a Sioux reservation in North Dakota opens up three enigmatic destinations: a seemingly empty garden world known as Eden, a labyrinth of underground tunnels, and a space station overlooking the Milky Way. As various factions vie for control of the stargate, viewing it as either a groundbreaking opportunity for research or a potential threat to global security, Sioux chairman James Walker finds himself at the center of a conflict that raises profound questions about humanity's place in the universe. The story unfolds as the implications of the stargate and its two-way travel become increasingly significant.
