What if you had the power to control the future?
what if you could change the past?

Real-life adventurer Keith White weaves a fascinating tale of history, espionage, intrigue, science fiction and romance.

Keith White is a fellow who likes to ask, What if…? And in his first novel, The Portal (Little Moose Press, January 2005), the real-life dentist who moonlights as a small-craft pilot, world-traveler and history buff, tackles a doozy: What if the power to determine the outcome of World War II rested in the hands of two anti-heroes: the tart-tongued daughter of a murdered missionary and an asthmatic Air Corps reject on the run for killing his former girlfriend’s husband?

In The Portal, White does more than create a doorway that enables time travel. He delves into the touchy and complex issue of what truly makes a hero.

It’s 1943, and Jack Sullivan wants nothing more than to become a pilot and fight the Nazis. Although he’s the best athlete in his squad, Sullivan is tossed out of the military for the third time when his superiors discover he failed to reveal a childhood bout with asthma. Returning to Texas in disgrace, Jack seems destined to lead of life without distinction until a tryst with a former girlfriend leaves her husband dead and Jack on the run for murder. When his uncle Sully arranges for him to escape the authorities by taking a job with beat-up plane-for-hire service in Panama, Jack begins an adventure that soon has him crossing paths with Kelly Wilson, an inexperienced OSS agent whose father, a missionary, died under mysterious circumstances in the Amazon jungle. Jack and Kelly quickly find themselves racing against Heinz Bodecker, a Nazi operative who, like Kelly, is searching the jungle for an ancient relic that may hold the secret to winning the war.

With Jack and Kelly working for the Allies and Bodecker and his henchmen working for the Nazis, The Portal leads readers on an adventure that journeys across three continents and leaps between the war-torn 1940s and one possible version of modern-day Europe and the United States.

White’s fast-paced plot, likeable heroes, witty dialogue and ruthless villains will resurrect fond memories of Raiders of the Lost Ark while the mounting sexual tension between Jack and Kelly will remind many of Romancing the Stone.

 The Portal is a rollicking fun book that will keep readers spellbound from start to finish.
