The Anubis Gates

By: Tim Powers

Narrated by: Bronson Pinchot

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.

Excellent reader for a good book

Even through the often depressing material, the reader maintains an interested tone that keeps you going.

Time travel

I'm not a fan of time travel stories in any way, but this book came close to changing my mind.

Excellent

One of my favorite books ever with a wonderful reading by Bronson Pinchot. I've listened to this twice in the last year and loved it both times.

Amazing Narrator

Bronson Pinchot is an amazing narrator. He managed to capture every character and gave me chills with his deep rasping voice in just the right part. The pauses and exciting moments are captured beautifully throughout the entire moment and managed to hold my interest in parts where reading it could not. It was because of the narrator that I managed to finish this book at all and I'm grateful to him for that.

An exciting escape.

I started listening during my morning walks. Initially, it was a struggle to keep up with the characters, but i became totally engaged in another time and place while the world around me became temporarily uninteresting.
