Dear All:

I know that this book has been discussed before, but, I thought that I would
add my voice to the Cosmic Fugue...

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.  

Frederick Paul Kiesche III
