Relation In Favor Of Books The Anubis Gates

Brendan Doyle, a specialist in the work of the early-nineteenth century poet William Ashbless, reluctantly accepts an invitation from a millionaire to act as a guide to time-travelling tourists. But while attending a lecture given by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1810, he becomes marooned in Regency London, where dark and dangerous forces know about the gates in time.

Caught up in the intrigue between rival bands of beggars, pursued by Egyptian sorcerers, and befriended by Coleridge, Doyle somehow survives and learns more about the mysterious Ashbless than he could ever have imagined possible...

Column Appertaining To Books The Anubis Gates

Mini-Review:4 Stars for Narration by Bronson Pinchot4.5 Stars for Details, Main Concepts3 Stars for PacingI've been "listening" to this book off & on in a disjointed fashion for about a year. Finally listened to it as a whole piece and not in odd mismatched parts from listening to it as I fall asleep. 😁What an odd time travel story. An interesting thought experiment. A lover of history ends up thrown back in time and living in various parts of the past. The way of it does not matter as much

Im not sure exactly what I think of this time-travel adventure. There are aspects that I love, some that leave me confused, and at least one that produced both sensations.I loved the Ancient Egyptian connectionshieroglyphs, gods & goddesses, the great boat of Ra. I appreciated that it wasnt easy for the time-displaced person to fit into the new society that they found themselves in. Coming from the privileged twentieth century didnt mean beans when it came to supporting oneself in the late

Tim Powers is at his best with wacked-out time travel stories, and that's precisely what this is. He basically took the entire collection of English-language literary devices and tossed them into one book. And then added some poetry. And some genderfuckery. And Ancient Egyptian myths and legends. And, also, did I mention the time travel? So. A mild-mannered literature professor (this is, um, something of a theme character in Powers' work) goes back to the time of Lord Byron, and - look. Things

This was a fun book. The list I took it from has it tagged as sci-fi, which I began to doubt from, oh, about page 1. I would definitely classify this as fantasy. There is a time travel element, which I guess is why it sometimes ends up with the sci-fi classification, but its more magical than scientific.In 1802, some sorcerers perform a difficult magical spell in an attempt to bring Anubis back and wipe out all of these pesky modern religions. There are some unexpected effects. Our main

This was one of my favorite books back in high school, a madcap time-travel adventure, a maniacal blend of steampunk, Dickensian London, Egyptian sorcerers, villainous rival beggar gangs, real poets Samuel Taylor Coleridge & Lord Byron, fictitious Victorian poet William Ashbless, monstrous human/animal experiments lurking in the sewers below London, a body-switching werewolf, hairy ape men running mad with bleeding mouths, spoon-sized boys, and a modern-day scholar of Victorian poetry who

2.5 stars. Complicated, chaotic time travelling riotous caper combined with sorcery from Egypt. There were some great ideas in here but the story as a whole was just too much. I was so relieved to get to the end.

This is an extremely jolly time-travelling, swash-buckling adventure! I'm surprised though that it won a science fiction award, as it's clearly fantasy. The time travel here is powered by Egyptian wizards, with no time wasted on specious physics.Thoroughly recommended for anyone looking for a boys-own adventure: there's plenty of sword-fights, monsters, wizards, evil beggar-kings, revolutions, creepy clowns, and even cameos from great poets like Byron and Coleridge.
