First contact didn’t go as planned…

Time Gate 8, one of humanity’s portals between the stars, has been overrun by a mysterious alien intelligence, and the planet Luddeccea is now cut off.

Haunted by those she left behind, Commander Noa Sato is on a desperate mission to save her homeworld. Navigating the ancient Ark, she seeks a hidden gate that will transport her ship to Earth and the Galactic Fleet. But the Luddeccean system harbors dangers, and so does her crew.

The only crew member she completely trusts is James Sinclair, but he doesn’t trust himself.

James isn’t the man he once was. He has a hunger that is never sated, kills without regrets, and is fitted with extraordinary augments he doesn’t remember getting. Can James control his augments, or will they control him?

In a future where almost all humans are augmented, James’s answer and Noa’s mission will determine the fate of the human race … and the enemy is already within the gates.

About the Author

C. Gockel has been writing stories for her friends and family since the dark ages (i.e., before word processors existed.) A few years ago, she started posting those stories to the intertubes. She received emails, messages, and reviews from her fans telling her she should 'do this professionally.' She didn't; because she is a coward and life as a digital designer, copywriter and coder is more dependable. But in the end, her husband's nagging wore her down: "You could be the next '50 Shades of Gray' and I could retire!" Unfortunately, the author writes science fiction and fantasy, and isn't particularly good at writing erotica. She is sad about this; she'd love for her husband to be able to retire and just work for her so she could nag him. At the moment, Ms. Gockel is working on the next installment of the Archangel Project. Ms. Gockel loves to hear from readers. She can be reached by email at: cgockel.publishing@gmail.com Her Facebook page is: https: //www.facebook.com/CGockelWrites --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Doing The Right Thing No Matter The Cost

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

This series must be read in order. The first book is Archangel Down. The second book is Carl Sagan's Hunt For Intelligent Life In The Universe (a flashback short story). This is the third book. I can't wait to read Heretic!

Noa and her crew aboard the Ark are doing their best to survive and get to the secret Time Gate hidden within the Kanakah Cloud in order to summon help from the Fleet. What is happening on Luddeccea is as bad, if not worse, than the atrocities committed by the Nazis. James is more important than he should be to her... And at times he really creeps her out. Who is he really? What is he? He resembles her dead husband more than is believable. She can't imagine life without him though, especially since her brother Kenji betrayed her. Why did Kenji turn her in to be sent to a concentration camp? Did he realize what he was doing? Can they repair the ship enough to fulfill their mission? Or will they be caught and turned in? What exactly is the Archangel Project? And how is she involved? Shouldn't she know? What does it have to do with James? Who can she trust?

It ticks all the boxes for me. I love it.

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2016

I enjoyed this book even more than the first, I find this series and this book particularly reminiscent of Elizabeth Moon's Vatta Wars Series. I've also recently been reading Jack Campbell's Lost Fleet, and this novel has similar themes and situations. It also reminds me a bit of Isaac Asimov Foundation series. This book might appeal also to readers of those authors.
This author has a good mix of characters, and it's not all serious and gloomy, there is irony, sarcasm and lightheartedness which contrasts the darker themes. I particularly like the mix of ages and genders, the feisty 'grandmother' is one of my favourite characters.
Cons:
To me a good story is more important than the editing or polish of the book. The author sometimes does not describe much detail in the writing, in style of leaving most things up to the reader's imagination, however, sometimes the description is very detailed; when this change happens this throws me out of the story and I feel frustrated, when a character or object is suddenly not where I imagined it to be. I do not know much about writing, so when I come on these or other issues I suspect the is flaw in this reader rather than the writing!
It might feel a bit practicable to some readers, but that is sometimes an unfortunate byproduct of doing a lot of reading. I contract that with the knowledge from the authors other books that no character is safe.
This is one of the most enjoyable stories I've read.

If you're not sure, take a chance.

Plain old good science fiction

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2018

I love finding a new series by a good author. The second book is not the let down in the trilogy either. The characters are developed and flawed. They're interesting. The story line is semi-predictable but totally enjoyable. The story outside of the story is fascinating and still has me guessing. I'm not totally convinced who the bad guys are. I sure hope the resolution doesn't disappoint. I'm off to but the 3rd book now.

Pretty good read

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2019

Honestly I liked it better than the first. First, there’s tons of action. Second, there’s more internal conflict than the first. So it satisfies on both levels. Having escaped the planet, our intrepid heroes are now wandering the system, for various reasons. There are some revelations, and it ends on a whopper - though not unexpected. All in all, I found it an enjoyable read, enough so to buy the next.

A great series of books, written my an author I have become a fan of. If you like Sci-Fi read this series

I highly recommend this series of books!
The author does an excellent job of creating a believable Sci-FI universe with many of today's issues such as AI, electronic personal communication, racism and fundamentalism as a backdrop. I found the story line believable, compelling and entertaining. It was so good I would finish a book and buy the next one immediately. I will continue to read this authors works as I am very impressed. This review will be added to all 3 stories in this series.

Very good author. Her storyline kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t stop reading. From the first page to the last the growth of the storyline keeps you turning page after page.anticipating and enjoying the character of the story. Again, this Author is well worth checking out.

I started on the first because it was but bought the other two because I couldn't put them down. I love the characters, the way Mr Gockel develops the suspense and the relationships among the crew. An excellent read.

Lots of questions coming up

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 7, 2018

I think my dislike of Si-Fi might catch up on me. I have sometimes problems following the technology and architecture of this future. And then again there are moments when I think “10 hours for a full system check? That's a bit long for such an evolved technology” or “Wouldn't the human brain totally overload with all this ethernet and internal app functionality”?
I would have thought that if humankind has developed all this advanced technology and uses their brains with so much input that some believes or motives would have to change too. Or maybe not, and this would be the downfall of humanity.
So, the archaic behaviours like racism (what does it matter if you are a “throwback” when you can change or select your genetics? And wouldn't it be seen as something special rather than “mistake”?) or the derogatory behaviour against bots (you have created them why feel like you need to diminish them?) has left me with too many questions.
All these good points to tackle in a book feel “old-fashioned” in the year 2400-something.
Though the core point, “what defines human” is nicely approached. Free will, love, compassion. But I would also add greed and forgiveness. Let's see how all this ends in the next book....

Engaging and well written.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 27, 2021

The author (C. Gockel) has a great imagination and while there are some instances (noted by other commentators) that are a little weak technically I can forgive that. She writes well and is able to write male and female characters equally well which many other writers should emulate. The story is engaging and well written. Good science fiction is unusual to come by these days but this author is good at it.

A stellar read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 11, 2016

To get the most out of this book you have to have read Archangel Down and preferably Carl Sagan's Hunt for Intelligent Life in the Universe as well. Noa's Ark picks up right where Archangel Down leaves off and finds more room for introspection of how the heck they got where they are, as well as opening doors to new places and new adventures. The action is set at a slightly less frenetic pace than the first book which doesn't get your heart racing as much as book one but it's lovely to feel like you're unlocking what drives each individual. Definitely looking forward to the next book.

Came across the first in this series by accident, brilliant, loved all of it and was so relieved to see that this one was already out. Can't wait for the 17th of January and The Heretic. Even the 'techie' bits kept me interested. The characters are well rounded, flaws and all, the plot is good and the pace about right, little slow in one or two places, but it still kept me reading. Great to have a strong female lead. So glad I found this author, will be trying some of her other work.
