Six Gates From Limbo is a weird, otherworldly epic science fiction fantasy that definitely feels as if it were written in the late sixties by a Brit and it was. You might choose to put on some late sixties Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, or Jefferson Airplane while reading this. Part of it is a utopian dream world like a Garden of Eden with no crime, no savage beasts, -- just an Adam and Eve - well, actually two Eves - a blonde and a brunette, both of stunning beauty. Part of the story is waking up in this dreamlike paradise and coping with the ever-present battle of the sexes. Another part is the serpent's temptation - six gates from Limbo to other worlds - not easy journeys, but is paradise all it's cracked up to be or is there something more - and is it worth seeking out.

The first part of the book is a fantastic mysterious exposition of discovery and wonder. Waking up in in another world not knowing how you got there or who you are is generally quite interesting. The repartee between the only inhabitants of this world is also quite ingenious and fascinating. And, the exploration of the gateways is intriguing. My only complaint is that the ultimate resolution of all these issues didn't quite measure up to all the buildup. ( )

Rex awakes in a balmy paradise and finds he has two companions, Regina and Venus. They have no idea what their real names are nor why they are stranded in this paradise. Rex finds six gateways in the perimeter and is determined to fathom the mystery.

Fairly dated as is evident from Rex's relationship with the two women, but not as badly as some. ( )
