As she digs deeper, she finds herself in a desperate struggle against a sinister force determined to destroy everything she loves. Apollo, an ordinary man with an extraordinary affection for Irene, is pulled into her world of shadows and danger. Together, they must confront an ancient enemy and navigate a labyrinth of secrets and betrayal, where every choice could mean life or death.

"The Nought: Last Portal" is a gripping tale of love, sacrifice, and the fight against an unseen evil.

Originally published as an interactive novel on computer disk in 1986, Portal is the story of an astronaut who returns to earth from a mysteriously aborted mission prematurely awakened from suspended animation. One hundred years have passed; animals and plants thrive, cities stand intact. Every human being, however, has disappeared. With the help of a slowly reviving computer network, the astronaut begins to piece together the events of the last century. He learns of the child prodigy Peter Devore, of a world orchestrated by stunning new technologies, and of Peter's race against time to unlock the secrets of the Portal.

A word of caution to our readers; whether one chooses to believe the information on the powers associated with the witch known as "yee naaldlooshii" (Skinwalker) or not; the authors recommend following the policy that we ourselves strictly adhere to. We never say either the Navajo word, nor its English interpretation aloud. The Skinwalker stories in this collection take place near the famous Skinwalker Ranch and in the Navajo Nation. We began our reports on the Skinwalker purely by chance while researching Native American curses with a Shaman friend of ours. There seemed to be a fine line between the tribal beliefs and when we were introduced to another Native holy man from yet a different tribe, there were some similarities, but with a certain faction of its people there was a reference made to yee naaldlooshii. (The avenging witch of the Navajo Nation.) That's where the cut-off came. The Skinwalker belongs totally to the Navajo people and this subject brought up a curtain between our research into tribal customs. Researching the Skinwalker has been totally different for us, and we can't say it's been enjoyable. The open introductions and friendly sharing of information we experienced when researching Native American Curses did not carry over to Skinwalker research Although this release required an adjustment to our methods of research, we have now been forced to make many more security checks and precautions, both for the protection of our story submitters and our personal safety; which we must say has on many occasions been really on the edge of safe procedures. When one sees a heavily disguised person with whom you have been speaking for half an hour, walk into the semi-darkness outside of the building and totally disappear is scary enough, but to see that person transform into a black-tail deer in front of your eyes and run into a nearby forest, is unnerving to say the least. This kind of "freak-out moment" isn't something one can brush aside. Driving along a one lane highway with the full moon enhancing the spooky rock formations of a lonely, desert road can become even scarier if suddenly one notices an antelope keeping pace with your sixty miles an hour. As if that scare isn't enough, couple that with the fact that you notice as the animal cuts off across the desert it's running on its hind legs! We were fortunate that when we began our research into this mysterious witch, we had been thoroughly briefed by a medicine man of the Sioux tribe, and friends with the Apache, Comanche and several others about the tricks we may be confronted with. Even though the yee naaldlooshii is solely attached to the Navajo people, the other tribes are well aware of its existence, however, it has been explained to us in a "round about" way that the witches and curses associated with the individual tribes do not seem to ever cross the line. We chose early on to do our best to report the stories submitted to us without passing judgement. Many of our submissions require that we seek further information and clarification of controversial reports and we appreciate the guidance of our Native American advisors and to the Navajo people themselves, for the risks many of them have taken to insure everyone's safety and to make the research most interesting.
