Now celebrating 40 years in print--take a dazzling journey through time with Tim Power's classic, Philip K. Dick Award-winning tale...

"There have been other novels in the genre about time travel, but none with The Anubis Gates' unique slant on the material, nor its bottomless well of inventiveness. It's literally in a class by itself, a model for others to follow, and it's easy to see how it put Powers on the map."--SF Reviews

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...

Industry Reviews

Praise for Tim Powers "Powers has all the writing skills needed to dazzle...[he] writes action and adventure that Indiana Jones could only dream of. And, just when it threatens to get out of hand, there's a dash of humor and irony that keeps you ready for the joy of it."--The Washington Post "Tim Powers is a genius."--Algis Budrys, Magazine of Science Fiction and Fantasy "The best fantasy writer to appear in decades."--Manchester Guardian "Powers deserves wider attention."--San Francisco Chronicle "No author alive can take such notions and make them so utterly believable. No one but Tim Powers."--David Brin "One of those writers with an utterly unique voice and sense of vision."--OtherRealms "Tim Powers is a name to be reckoned with."--Science Fiction Chronicle
