The Gate of Orient Independently Published

The deserts of Arabia are like an immense hourglass, but unlike their more mundane brethren, they are capable of creating sandstorms that destroy the very concept of time as we know it. It is during one of these tempests of time that Halim Cooper, a sergeant in the US army, finds a doorway in the middle of the eternal dunes that takes him to a place of utter wonder and terrible magic. A collection of short stories with an ingenious and infernal framing apparatus, The Gate of Orient brings to the present the old enchantment of the Arabian Nights.
