Our author in residence, Jimmy Faggiana says this about his book:

Thank you to everyone who has shown interest in my book, The Portal. A couple of items of note here, if I may. First, there is a cheaper way to purchase the hardcopy. Find it on ReaderHouse.com and enter a Promo Code: FFSave10. I also usually have copies with me at reduced cost. A second item, many of you have finished reading it already, and I welcome your comments, especially the negatives! I know this is not for everyone, and won't take it personally. This helps me with the sequel, which is about a year away. And, last, here is a list of D1 personnel who appear in the book....
