The Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Greece and Rome had returned to
Earth -- with all their awesome powers intact. Overnight, Earth was
transformed. War on any scale was outlawed, along with
boom-and-bust economic cycles, and prudery. No change was more
startling than the face of New York, where the Empire State
Building became the Tower of Zeus.
In this totally altered world, William Forrester is an acolyte
of Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, and a teacher of history. Only Maya
Wilson, one of his students and a worshipper of Venus, Goddess of
Love, had a different sort of grading in mind. Maya is the first of
the many Trials of Forrester, every bit as mighty and perilous as
the Labors of Hercules. In love with Gerda Symes (like him, a
devotee of Athena and a frequenter of the great Temple of Pallas
Athena -- formerly known as the 42nd Street Library) and dedicated
to the pleasures of the mind -- Forrester falls under the soft,
compelling pressure of soft, compelling devotees of Venus and
Bacchus. He's going to be in need of all the strength that he and
his Goddess, the beautiful and intellectual Athena, can muster
Into this sensuous strife stride the Temple Myrmidons --
religious cops sworn to obey orders without question or hesitation
-- with a pickup order for William Forrester. Where he is taken,
what happens to him, and the truly fantastic discoveries he makes
about himself and the Gods and Goddesses ... here are the
ingredients that make up this science fiction novel of suspense,
intrigue, mystery and danger
