Subject: Recommendation of "Gates of Anubis" Path: ihuxf!vej (Ed Johnson ATT Bell Labs, Naperville, IL ) ******************************************************************** I'd like to recommend "The Gates of Anubis" by Tim Powers to the net. This book is one one of the best I've read in awhile. The characterizations were very good. The basic concepts behind the book were interesting and the action was fast paced and believable. You even get some background on English authors and London free of charge. Overall a 9+, I even stayed up late to read just a little bit more. Ed Johnson ATT Bell Labs, Indian Hill

Let me recommend to y'all out there "100 Great Short Short
Science Fiction Stories", edited by Isaac Asimov et. al.
Good stuff from beginning to end, great (obviously) for reading
in small chunks, and contains the story referred to (ages ago)
in this newsgroup wherein someone makes continual references
to "pact with the devil" stories...also contains "Synchronicity",
which I was looking for some time ago (probably of interest to
fans of the Police) and one of the best "unconquerable-human-
spirit" stories I've ever read -- "Upstart".
Oh, just go buy it.
