"Everything you've ever believed about yourself...about the
description of reality you've clung to so stubbornly all your
life...all of it...every bit of it...is an illusion." In the
rubble-strewn wasteland of Alphabet City, a squalid tenement
conceals a treasure "beyond all imagining"-- an immaculately
preserved, fifth century codex. The sole repository of ancient
Hermetic lore, it contains the alchemical rituals for transforming
thought into substance, transmuting matter at will...and attaining
eternal life. When Rose, a sex and pain addicted East Village
tattoo artist has a torrid encounter with Martin, a battle-hardened
loner, they discover they are unwitting pawns on opposing sides of
a battle that has shaped the course of human history. At the center
of the conflict is Paul, the villainous overlord of an underground
feudal society, who guards the book's occult secrets in preparation
for the fulfillment of an apocalyptic prophecy. The action is
relentless as Rose and Martin fight to escape Paul's clutches and
Martin's destiny as the chosen recipient of Paul's sinister legacy.
Science and magic, mythology and technology converge in a
monumental battle where the stakes couldn't be higher: control of
the ultimate power in the universe--the Maelstrom. The Book of Paul
is the first of seven volumes in a sweeping mythological narrative
tracing the mystical connections between Hermes Trismegistus in
ancient Egypt, Sophia, the female counterpart of Christ, and the
Celtic druids of Clan Kelly.
