The
Heaven's Gate Chronicles is a new gun-slinging
fantasy series mixing the Wild West, Steampunk, angels, and a town that exists
for only a day is set to begin its epic story next year, courtesy of Solaris. The Good, the Bad and the Infernal by
Guy Adams will be the first book in the series, which debuts in April 2013:
“Roughly every one hundred years a
town appears. From a small village in the peaks of Tibet to a gathering of mud
huts in the jungles of South American, it can take many forms. It exists for
twenty-four hours then vanishes, but for that single day it contains the
greatest miracle a man could imagine: a doorway to Heaven. It is due to appear
on the 21st September 1889 as a ghost town in the American Midwest. When it
does there are many who hope to be there:
Travelling preacher Obeisance Hicks and his
simple messiah, a brain-damaged Civil War veteran; Henry and Harmonium Jones
and their freak show pack of outlaws; the Brothers of Ruth and their sponsor
Lord Forset (inventor of the Forset Thunderpack and other incendiary modes of
personal transport); finally, an aging gunslinger who lost his wings at the very
beginning of creation and wants nothing more than to settle old scores.”
