There is more than one history of the world. Before science defined
the modern age, other powers, wondrous and magical, once governed
the universe, their lore perfected within a lost capital of
hieroglyphs, wizard-kings, and fabulous monuments. In the 1970s, a
historian named Pierce Moffett moves to the New England countryside
to write a book about AEgypt, driven by an idea he dare not
believe: that the physical laws of the universe once changed and
may change again. Yet the notion is not his alone. Something waits
at the locked estate of Fellowes Kraft, author of romances about
Will Shakespeare and Giordano Bruno and Dr. John Dee, something for
which Pierce and those near him have long sought without knowing
it: a key, perhaps, to AEgypt ... Shortlisted for the WORLD FANTASY
and ARTHUR C. CLARKE AWARDs.
