"A thrilling exploration of cosmic frontiers, filled with high-stakes encounters and technological marvels that redefine the limits of space travel." -NewInBooks.com

Where TELEPORTER taught humankind how to "walk" using Porter Tech, ROADMAKER uses the tech to "run." No longer limited by our local planets, we need to go exploring. And we need to go exploring... out there.

The Timely Corporation has become a world leader in Porter-Tech and near-space solutions. While a threat to the Earth begs for a solution that teleporter tech can answer through leading-edge solutions, progress remains hampered by the very real laws of physics and distance.

In Roadmaker mankind begins to reap the rewards of prospecting the Asteroid Belt with all the dangers and riches implied by such a grand effort.

Readers travel in spacecraft that move between the stars at speeds that only give the captain a seventeen-minute horizon to avoid rogue planetesimals. Seventeen minutes to avoid threats of Cosmic Energy Bursts and the accumulating dangers thereof. Of spacewalks required while clinging to the exterior of a, still accelerating, spacecraft or a solution when your vehicle is drowning in an invisible river of high-energy particles that may "peel the RoadMaker like a grape" if an exit isn't found in a matter of minutes.

The Jump Gate series presents the third of four volumes that record the history, the trials, the successes, and the failures of a technology that evolves from a quirky time machine to a space-battleship-sized Jump Gate over four volumes.
ROADMAKER is the third book in the future annals of the Jump Gate.
