GATEWAY OF THE SUN, SYNOPSIS
What if you were instantly transported to another place, somewhere thousands of miles away, by a mysterious force of nature? The two teenage boys in Gateway of the Sun are Eagle Scouts on a camping trip at America’s Stonehenge in New Hampshire to observe the Summer Solstice at this Stone Age astronomical observatory. All at once they find themselves high in the Andes Mountains of Peru, where Bolivian headhunters are about to sacrifice a young virgin girl. After barely escaping with their lives, they are haunted by this bizarre, unexplained experience. Driven by curiosity, they recreate the circumstance of the phenomenon and learn how to make it happen again.
The two adventurers don’t know where they are going. Trying to explain how they got there, leads to some humorous situations, considerable mystery, and food for thought. They visit the most interesting archaeological sites in the world; places well known like Stonehenge in England, and the Great Pyramid in Egypt, and others are not as commonly known, such as Martand Temple in Kashmir, or Ha’amonga ‘a Maui in Tonga. I have thoroughly researched these mysterious places and the strange forces that surround them over many years, to make the story more credible. As they visit these places, they learn more about the strange force that is transporting them. The plot focuses on the possible explanation of spontaneous teleportation, a strange, real, but little known phenomenon.
At Stonehenge, England they teleport into a satanic cult’s ritual and almost become a human sacrifice, escaping with the help of a beautiful and clever teenage girl, Henrietta, the story’s romantic heroine. Her belief in the two boys and the backing of her wealthy father turns their adventure into a full-fledged scientific experiment to verify their discovery.
The humor in the dialogue is a revival of the techniques of Abbott and Costello’s highly successful Horror/Adventures, such as “Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy”. The comedy duo is made over however into two handsome teenagers and not classic stooges. The two protagonists are intelligent and resourceful, but find themselves in remarkable circumstances which bring about the comedic situations.
The comedy is set against a constant perilous life and death struggle as they encounter; head hunters from Bolivia, Satanists in England, a secret U.S. Air Force Base in Australia, terrorists in Kashmir, a Pyramid cult in Egypt, and an out of this world adventure. The military sees the weapons potential of their discovery and wants to stop them before their secrets fall into the hand of the terrorists who also have their own designs. The final moments of the story lead to a shocking conclusion, which leaves the door open for more possible adventures ahead.
