  Ally, an aspiring actress, is about to give up on getting her big break. But then, after another disappointing audition, a charismatic scene partner says he has a fun gig for her. Soon, Ally is making easy money working for a guerrilla-marketing outfit called The Set Up. Now she’s getting lots of practice pretending to be someone she’s not—but each job seems more suspicious than the last. 
    
  Marshall is a washed-up journalist, teaching a summer class at the university and struggling to keep his students (and himself) focused on his planned lessons. Someone has been leaving copies of his old articles on his lectern every morning, forcing him to revisit the story of a decades-old tragedy and mistakes he’s made … both personal and professional. 
    
  Web, a quirky loner, has always been ready to pick up and go at a moment’s notice. In fact, he’s very good at not being noticed, at least not unless he wants to be. That’s been helpful in his years working for The Set Up, but the new hire’s questions are starting to make Web feel less confident about his work as a con man. 
    
  What is The Set Up, and who’s playing whom? The search for answers leads Ally, Web, and Marshall from the glitz of the Strip to the grit of Sin City’s strip-mall suburbs, and from an abandoned Unification compound to a deadly bar mitzvah. As their paths converge, this unlikely trio uncover the shadowy power dynamics and shifting personalities that shape a city.

  No enemy is so dangerous as when you think they’re defeated. 
   
  The Hive Mind has deceived the Americans and the Thacians into believing they had the strategy that would destroy it once and for all…and instead, they opened the gates through to Thacia and, from there, into the United States. 
   
  And the demons streamed through by the tens of thousands, too many for artillery and air support to drive them back. The Army and Air Force keep pouring on the hurt, but it’s only a matter of time until they’re forced to do the unthinkable…nuke an American city. 
   
  Unless Wash Williams and Valon of Thacia can retrieve an ancient alien artifact that might shut down all the gates for good. 
   
  Or it might just destroy everything. 
   
  The third and final installment in the Gates of Eternity Military Sci-Fi Series from Rick Partlow, the bestselling author of the Drop Trooper Series. It's perfect for fans of Jasper T. Scott, Scott Bartlett, and David Weber.
