A time-traveling professor finds himself inhabiting the body of a Victorian poet in the London of 1810, and, trapped in constantly changing time loops, he battles an Egyptian sorcerer who has unleashed all manner of dangerous creatures into the world. This book is, according to John Clute in the ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SCIENCE FICTION, "a central example of Steampunk." It was awarded the 1984 Philip K. Dick Memorial Award.

The second book of the remarkable epic fantasy The Dominions of Irth, from an incomparable world builder and major new voice in the field. Once a hero rose up from the Dark Shore. His courage helped to vanquish an all-devouring evil and his magic restored a fallen kingdom to its prior majesty. But the unborn child of a vengeful goddess has been poisoned by the stranger's presence. And now all manner of beings and charmed entities are allied in a single cause: to drive the interloper from paradise and return him to a realm of darkness, pain, and dread sorcery called "Earth".

The Anubis Gates
Powers, Tim
Ace Trade. January 1, 1997. Paperback. Very Good. Author Tim Powers evokes 17th-century England with a combination of meticul ously researched historic detail and imaginative flights in this sci-fi tal e of time travel. Winner of the 1984 Philip K. Dick Award for best original science fiction paperback, this 1989 edition of the book that took the fan tasy world by storm is the first hardcover version to be published in the U nited States. In his brief introduction, Ramsey Campbell sets The Anubis Ga tes in an adventure context, citing Powers's achievement of "extraordinary scenes of underground horror, of comedy both high and grotesque, of bizarre menace, of poetic fantasy." The colonization of Egypt by western European powers is the launch point for power plays and machinations. Steeping together in this time-warp stew are such characters as an unassuming Coleridge scholar, ancient gods, wizards, the Knights Templar, werewolves, and other quasi-mortals, all wrapped in the organizing fabric of Egyptian mythology. In the best of fantasy traditions, the reluctant heroes fight for survival against an evil that lurks beneath the surface of their everyday lives.
