Two travelers, three time periods, a princess and a cop. From the
fall of Rome to the advent of artificial intelligence, an ancient
road between East and West remains... Mahzun comes from west of
Samerkand, Jamuk from the eastern frontiers of Central Asia. Once a
year they meet along the Silk Road to continue a family tradition
sharing food, stories, and the latest ideas. In act one (550CE) a
beautiful Eastern Princess smuggles the secret of silk from China
to Rome. Act two (1280CE) takes place on the eve of Mongol power in
Central Asia, and a lesson in binary math accompanies an
investigation into the mysteries of love. Act three (1806CE)
features a Frenchman on his way to China to deliver the world's
first functioning android from one emperor to another. "Wagner has
an ear for engaging dialog and a knack for creating his own
folklore based on historical facts with sprinkles of pop culture,
strange creatures and stories within stories... he has that nuanced
sensibility for weaving low-brow humor with very original wit."
