Hell's Gate.
Author - David Weber.
This will be a short and sweet, or should that be "bitter" sweet review.
Synopsis:
The basic story line is a universe where Magic actually works, meets universe where technology is supreme
The Union of Arcana has journeyed through portals linking parallel universes.
In that time its soldiers and Sorcerers have laid claim to one uninhabited planet after another but all of that is about to come to an explosive halt.
The Union's scouts have just discovered a new portal, and on its far side lies a shattering revelation.
There is another human society, Sharona, which has also been exploring the Multiverse. The first contact between them did not go well. Arcana is horrified by the alien weapons of its sudden opponents, weapons its sorcerers cannot explain or duplicate. Weapons based upon science.
The initial contact snowballs into all-out warfare, both sides can agree on one thing.
The portal which brought them together is Hell's Gate.
This is a terrible read, you will be disappointed !
No depth to any character, awful dialogue and silly explanations of sorcery versus science.
So dull it made my teeth ache !!
Give this book a VERY wide berth.
Greg.
Summary: WAKE UP !!!!!!!
