Bøger i Gateway to Gannah serien

Fifteen-year-old LILEELA is happy on the planet Karkar, where she was sent ten years ago for repair of a spinal cord injury. Now her mother, the ancestral ruler of Gannah, and her half-Karkar father have negotiated to pay their debt and bring their daughter home. But Lileela doesn’t want to go. She resents them for what she sees as their abandonment of her, and though she has to go home against her will, she vows to leave at her first opportunity.On Earth, a Special Starforces team led by FARIS is ordered to capture an insurrectionist, PHILIP DENGEL, and bring him in for interrogation. One problem: Dengel’s crime is preaching Christianity, and Faris is a secret convert. Faris leads his team to capture him, but then, through subterfuge of which he is not proud, he steals a starship and whisks Dengel toward Gannah.            The Gannahans discover the Karkar who delivered Lileela have a secret motive for being there: they plan to annihilate the settlement and take all Gannah’s rich resources for themselves.            The settlers have no protection against their overwhelming opponent but that which God provides—which proves to be more than sufficient.            Faris’s team is surprised to find the disabled Karkar ship orbiting Gannah. They seek—and receive—asylum there and offer their stolen vessel to the defeated Karkar so they can return home.Now of age, and with her debt paid, Lileela is free to return to return with them if she wants. But through all the upheavals she’s recently endured, she’s come to grips with who she is—and Who God is. She decides to stay on Gannah, where she now knows she belongs.The fact that she’s keenly attracted to Faris might have something to do with it.

Dassa's landing craft crashes on Gannah 10,000 kilometers from the settlement just as a blizzard sets in. Injured, she takes refuge from the storm in Ruwach Gorge. In the ancient Gannahan language, ruwach means both “wind” and “spirit,” and Dassa’s not sure which meaning applies. Seeking food and shelter, she seems supernaturally led to an older-than-old stronghold she recognizes from ancient legends—stories she’s been taught were myths. As she explores, she uncovers indisputable evidence that many things she thought she knew are in error.At the settlement, her husband, Pik, must not only try to find her, but he also must take charge in her absence. Rebellious settlers and a wayward daughter make it difficult enough. But when the animals threaten to break the ancient treaty and resume the old Wildlife Wars, Pik’s hard-pressed to hold things together. He’s afraid that if he ever manages to find Dassa, she’ll have no home to return to.Alone in the mysterious canyon where reality and fairytale are flipped, Dassa wonders the same thing. Though separated, she and Pik learn together whom to trust and what leads to death.

Once Adam has completed his training to become a knight (or Nasi, as such things are called on the planet Gannah), he will be heir to the throne. Or that's what he thinks, until he stumbles upon a village of Old Gannahan survivors. Hard to believe, because they were thought to have all died in the plague decades earlier. Worst yet, it seems one of them is the rightful ruler, not Adam's mother as everyone had believed.What's to be done? Plenty, as it turns out. Almost more than Adam has the time, energy, and stomach for, as he is assigned the task of bringing the Old Gannahans thousands of kilometers to join the New Gannahans at their settlement.This fourth book wraps up all the loose ends in the Gateway to Gannah series and leads to a thought-provoking and tear-jerking conclusion.
