“Portals” by Douglas E. Richards – The Bane of Being Human
Short Summary Douglas E. Richards is one of the few authors with the remarkable talent of being able to pull the reader into his outlandish concepts and have them turning one page after the next, and Portals is a perfect example of that. It follows the story of Noah Harris and Ashley Finn, two field agents for an organization meant to protect humanity from itself, and the only ones standing between Earth and its invasion by humans from a different planet, connected by a mysterious portal.
