NEW YORK—January 26, 2021—Morgan James’ new release, Infinity’s Gateway: A Novel by James S. Parker, is an intense, action packed story of survival, self-reliance, and discovery. Written for fans of adventure, action, and page-turning chapters, Infinity’s Gateway reveals a world plagued by people vanishing in mysterious and untraceable ways, and what the human race must do to stop it. 

James S. Parker wrote Infinity’s Gateway for anyone who has questioned the defined bounds of reality. Transporting fans of science-fiction to a world where, each year, people disappear in unexplainable ways, Parker tells an action-packed story with surprising turns and high-stakes risks. Infinity’s Gateway opens with a very famous incident that took place just after the end of World War II with the United States Navy. The story then jumps to present day with an unexplainable event that occurs off the coast of Florida—an event that cannot be ignored by the military.  

The Navy ship Eclipse and its crew are sent to investigate these mysterious events, but after several days, come up empty. Two days before returning to port, the event reoccurs, and the crew of the Eclipse is caught up in something they cannot escape. Completely isolated, they are lost in a terribly hostile environment where each day is a struggle to survive, and no clear path to escape. Infinity’s Gateway is an intense, thrilling story of survival, self-reliance, and discovery.

About the Author:Every now and then author James S. Parker has a vision. And, when he does, he sees people and places off in the misty distance. Sometimes these visions are futuristic and filled with danger. Most often they are mystical, with good and evil and a cast of characters who beautifully represent both.  

In his high school years James experienced a spine-tingling brush with the supernatural. That single event-complete with the sound of heavy footsteps and an invisible visitor – etched forever in his mind the idea that life is much more mysterious than we oftentimes admit, that the spiritual world is all around us, and that its impact on us cannot be denied.

Though he sees through a glass darkly, he writes as though he has been granted a glimpse into the unknown, one that has informed his novels and their powerful stories of good and evil and the struggles we all face every day to assure that good wins. 

Infinity’s Gateway, the first book in a fascinating sci-fi adventure trilogy, is his latest work.  

James lives in San Antonio, Texas with his wife, Margaret.
