Run--do not walk--run to your nearest bookstore and buy THE ANNUBIS GATES by Time Powers. It has got to be one of the best reads that I have had all year, next to Robert W. Chambers THE SLAYER OF SOULS and David Brin's THE PRACTICE EFFECT. I bought it, sat down with it, and got up a day later...it is a real page-turner. I had to be dragged into NYC screaming and kicking to see an opera--I literally could not put the book down. Great--and strange characters, an interesting system of magic, a fantastic plot. Wow! Good stuff, I am now on a search for Time Powers' other book--THE DRAWING OF THE DARK. For those of you who like adapting books to RPGs, this would definately make a good one for such games as TIMESHIP, FRINGEWORTHY and CALL OF CTHULHU. Good stuff, good stuff.
