Ill-fated Love in a Dystopian America
In 2105, with America’s economy in
a shambles, Harry Middleton is born
into a world in which most people
have lost hope.
Lonely, misunderstood, 12-year-old
Harry’s life is changed forever when
he meets Lorrie.
Harry and Lorrie dream of escaping
together on the first star mission,
but on her 14th birthday, Lorrie
disappears.

Alan Zendell’s The Portal is about determination and undying love,
as Harry’s life becomes a quest, first to find Lorrie, then to help
restore a once-proud nation to greatness, as a monument to her
memory. If An Affair to Remember were set in this dystopian
future, it might look like The Portal.
