The Anubis Gates
I picked up this book several months ago after reading about it over the years and promptly put it down after the first couple chapters. I couldn’t get into it. I decided to give it another shot and it turns out it gets really good around chapter three.
A magical incident leaves gates in time scattered through history where you can enter and leave the time stream. A dying millionaire hires Coleridge scholar Brendan Doyle to accompany him back into time to a lecture by Coleridge along with several paying tourists. When Brendan is left behind when every one returns, hilarity ensues.
This is the first book by Tim Powers I read and I enjoyed the heck out of it once the book got movies. It’s got action, adventure, wit and a great historical back-drop. I’m definitely going to get more books by him.
