From Kirkus Reviews
Sequel to Chase the Morning (not seen): a strange, hectic fantasy with an exotic Far East setting and more weird beasties than you can shake a stick at. Corporate fixer Steve Fisher has won a contract to supply computers and know-how to help redevelop the collapsing water-based economy of the Indonesian island of Bali; he is also a mighty warrior in a magic universe composed of a stable Core and a highly magical Spiral. Now, two powerful entities are lining up to prevent him from delivering the cargo: the ancient, silver-tongued tiger- god, Barong, and the seductive death-goddess Rangdu. On Steve's side are an odd old Dutchman, Ape (he turns out to be Hunaman, the monkey god), and skeptical blond Eurasian Jacquie, an ex whom Steve treated poorly in the past. A furious, well-orchestrated, often eye-popping series of battles and scenarios commences, during which Steve makes the transition between avaricious corporate dolt and thoughtful, ecologically correct maturity--and wins back the lovely Jacquie, too, of course. Finally, Ape will intervene to offer the new, improved Steve the opportunity to determine the fate of the island and its culture. Hard-working and different, with tons of local color, bustle, and noise: sometimes humidly suffocating, equally often dazzling. -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
From Publishers Weekly
This rich, original sequel to Chase the Morning weaves exciting Far East locales and mythology into a stirring fantasy. Years before the tale begins, Stephen Fisher had ventured into the Spiral, a magical world where myths are reality. Now an international shipping agent, he is baffled by the inexplicable setbacks suffered during his company's efforts to transport vital water-purification equipment to the island of Bali. When Fisher has a bizarre supernatural encounter in a Bangkok alley, he realizes that his experiences with the Spiral are not yet over. Awesome forces have arrayed themselves against him, and to get the needed shipment to Bali he embarks on a perilous voyage within the Spiral, aided by a motley band of pirates and a mysterious sorcerer. Those unfamiliar with the first book may find some of the story's threads a little difficult to pick up, but this engaging tale successfully combines colorful characters, spirited swashbuckling, atmospheric settings and thoughtful political debate. A welcome change from standard sword-and-sorcery quests.

Cover Art: Peter Elson (illustrator). 1993 Edition. © 1992: 2nd in the 'Spiral' series of books. 1st printing of 1993 edition:- Synopsis: 'East of the sun and west of the moon' you may find a freighter carrying ivory to Hy Brasil, mammoth tusks to Tartessos and Ashkelon. Another world of strangeness and high adventure waits, never far from our own; round a corner, through a door of a harbourside inn and you may find yourself there. 'The Gates Of Noon':- Review(s): "Strong images and some great (and weird) sea battles keep the plot moving, while the concept of sailing in and out of myth remains compelling. A romping mix of contemporary fantasy, ancient myth and old-fashioned sea story, that I recommend highly" - Locus / "Intelligent and exceedingly well-written, this adventure adroitly uses the baggage of fantasy to fresh and original advantage. An enjoyable and fast-moving read" - Stan Nicholls, The Dark Side:- (original cost £4.99). Seller Inventory # 14.005.00273
