The Door Through Space: With linked Table of Contents Kindle Edition

... across half a Galaxy, the Terran Empire maintains its sovereignty with the consent of the governed. It is a peaceful reign, held by compact and not by conquest. Again and again, when rebellion threatens the Terran Peace, the natives of the rebellious world have turned against their own people and sided with the men of Terra; not from fear, but from a sense of dedication. There has never been open war. The battle for these worlds is fought in the minds of a few men who stand between worlds; bound to one world by interest, loyalties, and allegiance; bound to the other by love. Such a world is Wolf. Such a man was Race Cargill of the Terran Secret Service.

About the Author

Marion Zimmer was born in Albany, NY, on June 3, 1930, and married Robert Alden Bradley in 1949. Mrs. Bradley received her B.A. in 1964 from Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, Texas, then did graduate work at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1965-67. She was a science fiction/fantasy fan from her middle teens, and made her first sale as an adjunct to an amateur fiction contest in Fantastic/Amazing Stories in 1949. She had written as long as she could remember, but wrote only for school magazines and fanzines until 1952, when she sold her first professional short story to Vortex Science Fiction. She wrote everything from science fiction to Gothics, but is probably best known for her Darkover novels. In addition to her novels, Mrs. Bradley edited many magazines, amateur and professional, including Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine, which she started in 1988. She also edited an annual anthology called Sword and Sorceress for DAW Books. Over the years she turned more to fantasy; The House Between the Worlds, although a selection of the Science Fiction Book Club, was "fantasy undiluted". She wrote a novel of the women in the Arthurian legends - Morgan Le Fay, the Lady of the Lake, and others - entitled Mists of Avalon, which made the NY Times best seller list both in hardcover and trade paperback, and she also wrote The Firebrand, a novel about the women of the Trojan War. Her historical fantasy novels, The Forest House, Lady of Avalon, Mists of Avalon are prequels to Priestess of Avalon She died in Berkeley, California on September 25, 1999, four days after suffering a major heart attack. She was survived by her brother, Leslie Zimmer; her sons, David Bradley and Patrick Breen; her daughter, Moira Stern; and her grandchildren.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Science Fiction
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2013

I almost didn't pick it because it said it was only 6 pages long. It was either longer, or the story was interesting enough that I enjoyed it and eventhough it could have been a much more detailed book, the story was very interesting. The Author created a planet that had a population of natives that seemed capable of working with humans but different enough that humans had to pick their way carefully through the cultural differences. Pretty much as simple as traveling from one country to another. In some, the wrong word could get you killed. In other's, the natives would ignor your ignorance. I recommend it for a short, entertaining read.

OK on my small kindle. the first one. no keyboard or touch I am also getting the lock up. I loaded in unloaded it and all that. nothing. will not do a thing but lock up my kindle.
BUT, on my fire I have no such problems. I am rating it a 3 cause of that . a ! for the one kindle and a 5 for the fire. I can't say a thing about the story it's self since after almost an hour messing around trying to figure out what is going on I have yet to read more then the very first page of chapter one.

I realize this is a free book and all but I agree I would think Amazon would want to fix that. just not sure how to let them know it's a problem. so maybe if enough people say soothing it will come to some ones attention??

1.0 out of 5 stars eBook has flaw and needs to be fixed or removed from the library
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2013
Verified Purchase
Amazon, Like quite a few others, I downloaded this ebook, and as soon as I opened it, my Kindle locked up. I restarted my Kindle and tried again, only to lock it up again. I tried several other ebooks I have to make sure it wasn't something I did, and I encountered no problems with any of those ebooks. I thought I'd try one more time to see if I could be the subject book to work and locked up again. This time my Kindle just listed all the books without my collections. So I have to go and redo all of my collections and enter those books into them. Please either fix this book, or delete it from the Amazon electronic library.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book but has elements of witchcraft and strangely enough anti Santa Claus.
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2014
Verified Purchase
The ending was somewhat unexpected and the smashing of the Toy-makers Shop was definitely anti Santa Claus although the author might not have meant it that way. The sex could have been left out entirely and the book would have flowed better. Not one of the author's best but may have be indicating of better books later, this may have been written early in her career. Did have to go online to download to my device.

Another great MZB story. There is a lot of similarities to Darkover, but without the human Laran wielding aspect. YA-men, ghost winds, cat people, etc. A matter transmission device discovered but not as useful as hoped. Emerse yourself in MZB’s worlds. Need to read another Darkover novel after this.
