Being an author myself, I enjoyed the exciting storyline and generally well written descriptions of the ongoing action and character development. It is clear, the author has based much of the narrative on his own experiences as a pilot and a world traveler. The plot reminds one of the Raiders of the Lost Ark Series, but is unique enough to hold your interest throughout. Good job, Keith!

Good story, lots of action and fairly suspensful. I enjoyed the read-a page turner. A little less believable than Indiana Jones but in the same genre. I am a fan of the time period it was set in-WWII.
When's the Movie Coming Out?

This novel is pure entertainment. White has a knack for great visuals and good character development. The protagonist is like the terminator..nothing stops him! I hated him more and more as the story progressed! This is going to make a great family feature..I cant wait to see it on film!
Riveting adventure with unexpected climax
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
When it comes to intense, fast-paced, riveting suspense and exciting adventure, then Keith White's new novel, "The Portal" is the one to read. Once started, you will not want to put it down. It is fun and entertaining, full of suspense and drama, but also intelligent and creative. It is a quick moving adventure story that is very exciting, yet the characters are well developed with a good complex plot, with the usual climaxes, but also with many, many, twists and turns right to final page. The author has taken time to create his characters fully. We have the good, the evil, the interesting, the intelligent, etc. All interesting people to fuel the plot. They also provide somewhat of a frame story as they all do come together as the novel progresses with the ever-present conflict of good and evil. White is a good writer, who develops a complex plot, interesting characters, who has done the thorough research, and who has carefully constructed settings to provide just the right atmosphere for his novel of intrigue and high adventure. His use of diction is excellent as even with the title and his detailed, descriptive language just enhances this thriller. As with many works of art, we are asked to suspend reality and enter into the world of illusion and imagination, well,no, maybe it actually is reality after all. Maybe it just depends on than portal of knowledge. Drawing upon personal experiences and travel and actual historical records, White has created a very exciting work of fiction, which allows the reader to escape into the wonderful world adventure and imagination and who will keep askng, "What will happen next?"
