Tommy P. reviewed on 2/13/2014

Tim Powers writes powerful books about ordinary people falling headlong into situations they would have dismissed as impossible or ridiculous. _The_Anubis_Gates_ is one of these, and the protagonist finds himself fighting for his life and for his soul against ordinary men and sorcerers in a past time, with only his knowledge of history to guide him.

Fans of Powers will notice that this early story ties together fewer of the many strands of myth and legend than later works, but it is recognizable Powers, and a feast for the imagination.
