The Anubis Gates
by Tim Powers
A modern-day millionaire finds time-gates left by ancient Egyptian gods, which results in
a lifetime of adventure for Professor Brendan Doyle as he attempts to stop various
Egyptian god worshipers from changing the past. Oh yes: he’d also like to avoid his own
fated death if possible.
You know our gods are gone. They reside now in the Tuaut, the underworld, the gates of
which have been held shut for eighteen centuries by some pressure I do not understand but
which I am sure is linked with Christianity. Anubis is the god of that world and the
gates, but has no longer any form in which to appear here.
