Books with title Through the Door to Dusk

Noah Winston watched a boy die and crumble to dust in the street. That was his introduction to a bizarre mystery spanning from the early settlement of the Las Vegas valley to the present day. Uncovering the truth drove him deep into history and legend as he attempted to untangle fact from fiction and found himself falling in love along the way. Through the Door to Dusk is the first in a series of supernatural books for young adults.

... across half a Galaxy, the Terran Empire maintains its sovereignty with the consent of the governed. It is a peaceful reign, held by compact and not by conquest. Again and again, when rebellion threatens the Terran Peace, the natives of the rebellious world have turned against their own people and sided with the men of Terra; not from fear, but from a sense of dedication. There has never been open war. The battle for these worlds is fought in the minds of a few men who stand between worlds; bound to one world by interest, loyalties, and allegiance; bound to the other by love. Such a world is Wolf. Such a man was Race Cargill of the Terran Secret Service.

An agent of Terran Intelligence on the planet Wolf is being transferred to Vainwal when he's dragged off the starship and sent out on a mission which proves to be a series of complicated traps, set by multiple enemies--some of whom have mistaken him for someone else entirely. Note: This is Marion Zimmer Bradley's first published novel, a precursor to the Darkover series. * Introduction by Elisabeth Waters

Such a man was Race Cargill of the Terran Secret Service.

At one time Race Cargill had been the best Terran Intelligence agent on the planet of Wolf. He had repeatedly imperiled his life amongst the half-human and non-human creatures. And he had repeatedly accomplished the fantastic missions until his name was emblazoned with glory. But that had all seemingly ended. Now for years he sits behind a boring desk inside the fenced-in Terran Headquarters. But when THE DOOR THROUGH SPACE swings suddenly open, a riproaring space feud adventure begins - and with it a plot designed to check and destroy the Terran Empire!
