When Brendan Doyle is flown from America to London to give a lecture on Samuel Taylor Coleridge, little does he expect that he will soon be traveling through time and meeting the poet himself. But Brendan could do without being stranded penniless in the teeming, thieving London of 1810.
Only the dazzling imagination of Tim Powers could have assembled such an insane cast of characters: an ancient Egyptian sorcerer; a modern millionaire; a body-switching werewolf; a hideously deformed clown; a young woman disguised as a boy; a brainwashed Lord Byron; and our hero, Brendan Doyle. The Anubis Gates took the fantasy world by storm a decade ago, and now fans can savor this Philip K. Dick Award winner all over again.

Then there is the predictability of the story. It wasn't difficult at all to conclude early on the Doyle and Jackie would end up together in the end or that Doyle would continue to evade his predicted deaths through body changes and Ka clones. Even those obvious eventualities would have been tolerable except for the fact that the author choose to string them out over the entire length of the book.
The author's writing skills were above average but the story itself was extremely tedious to get through. The primary setting of the story, time travel back into the 19th century, gave it a reverse H.G. Wells feel to it, as well. The narrator did a fine job at voices the various characters and nationalities over the course of the story but even that was not enough to save it, regrettably.
Too long for being too predictable
