In the near future, suicide is a constitutional right. Tom Galloway is just an ordinary single parent, trying to keep his rebellious and depressed teenage daughter from going to the Happy Endings Clinic. If there’s one thing he doesn’t need, it’s a tenth century Viking time traveler dropping into his world. But Tom is about to begin the adventure of his life, one that will change the whole world.

I originally wrote Death’s Doors several years ago. As I did with Wolf Time, I simply sighted along the lines of current cultural trends and imagined what the world would be like a little way down the road. I deal with two cultural developments. One is assisted suicide. I’m sure some readers will say that a constitutional “right to die” would never be extended to minors, and certainly not without parental consent. My answer is, “Yeah. Remember how well that worked with abortion.”

The other is the worldwide expansion of Islam, particularly in Europe, but also in America.

“Death’s Doors is my new favorite of Lars Walker novels…. Although there are a lot of big ideas in this book and a lot of rich theologizing, ‘Death’s Doors’ is just fun to read. It’s suspenseful, exciting, and wildly imaginative, both in the author’s storytelling and in the way it stimulates the reader’s imagination. And I’m realizing that all good novels–including Christian novels, classics, and other works that are Good for You–need to have those qualities. And this one does.” Read more of what Dr. Gene Edward Veith, author of Postmodern Times, God at Work, and other books, has to about Death’s Doors.
