Tim Powers Click on a book's image or title to order from Amazon.com The Anubis Gates Reviewed October 1998 Read the back cover of The Anubis Gates and you'll think Powers has written an "everything-but-the-kitchen-sink" novel, a book with so many disparate elements it couldn't possibly hang together. Instead, what you've really got is an exquisitely tightly-plotted modern fantasy novel in which every element relates to every other element and all makes sense at the end. The basic thrust of the story is this: A pair of near-immortal sorcerers, who worship the Egyptian god Anubis, want to bring their god's influence to the fore once more. The powers of magic are dwindling over time, being replaced by science and reason, so in 1802 they cast one great spell to try to bring back the Egyptian gods. It doesn't work, but what it does do is opens holes in time for three hundred years on either side of 1802, through which people can travel. In 1983, this is just what an aging millionaire does: He assembles a group of people to go back in time to see Samuel Taylor Coleridge speak in London in 1810, including Professor Brendan Doyle, who gives a brief lecture on Coleridge before accompanying the group back in time. Alas for Doyle, before he can return, he's kidnapped by one of the sorcerers and is stranded in 1810. Doyle manages to escape, but is penniless and alone in 1810 London. There he encounters a criminal mastermind dressed as a stilt-walking clown; Dog-Face Joe, who can change bodies with other people; a plague of hairy apes appearing around London; a brainwashed Lord Byron; his own handwriting in a book from 1684; and the enigma of poet William Ashbless, whom Doyle knows more about than almost anyone, but whose biography appears fictional when he fails to appear in his documented locations. Meanwhile he's being pursued by the Egyptians (among others), and trying to stay alive and healthy while searching for a way back to his own time.

Tim Powers Magnus Olsson Tim Powers är en amerikansk författare och han har vad jag vet skrivit följande böcker: Epitaph in Rust The Skies Discrowned The Drawing of the Dark The Anubis Gates (1983) (Svensk översättning Anubisportarna Dinner at Deviant's Palace On Stranger Tides The Stress of her Regard Last Call De två översta har jag ingen aning om vad de handlar om; Last Call har jag bara läst baksidan på, och den tycks handla om spelare i Las Vegas. De övriga har jag däremot läst, och de räcker för att jag ska kunna rekommendera hans böcker helhjärtat. Tim Powers skriver en sorts fantasy, kan man säga. Vill ni hellre klassa hans böcker som horror kan jag gå med på det också. Dinner at Deviant's Palace är visserligen rent formellt science fiction (den utspelar sig i Los Angeles ett par hundra år efter katastrofen) men tonen och handlingen är omisskännligt powerska. Tim Powers kombinerar en vid och grundlig beläsenhet om de olika historiska perioder han skriver om med en osviklig förmåga för det groteska. Ta som exempel The Drawing of the Dark : Tiden är början på 1500-talet och historien börjar i Venedig. En fyrtioårig irländsk legoknekt Brian Duffy, får jobb som utkastare på en krog i Wien av en mycket mystisk äldre herre. Duffy förföljs av övernaturliga väsen och hinner fram till Wien lagom för att kunna vara med om turkarnas belägring av staden. Snart visar det sig att Duffy är en inkarnation av kung Arthur, en båtlast vikingar kommer seglande nerför Donau, Duffys märklige arbetsgivare är trollkarlen Merlin och det är bara början ...

TIM POWERS I have waited long enough for someone to give Tim Powers his proper due. Looking on the WWW, I can only find a few scattered reviews of the man who was nominated for the Nebula, received the Apollo Prix, the World Fantasy Award winner one year and nominee the next, and was twice granted the and Philip K. Dick Memorial Award. When science fiction, dark horror, or whatever you call the brilliance of Tim Powers works lands an author in the pages of Barlowe's Guide to Extra-Terrestrial, he should have at least a few unofficial web sites. Since I am new at this canonizing thing, I am sure there will be mistakes, misquotes and errors. I will happy to correct them.

27. The Anubis Gates--Fan Page For Tim Powers Biography, links and excerpts from tim powers' works. Includes the story of how author James Blaylock and powers came up with "William Ashbless". "Philip K. Dick felt that one day tim powers would be one of our greatest fantasy writers. http://home.earthlink.net/~ellendebrock/anubis.htm

"Philip K. Dick felt that one day Tim Powers would be one of our greatest fantasy writers. Phil was right." -Roger Zelazny "Powers writes action and adventure that Indiana Jones could only dream of. And, just when is threatens to get out of hand, there's a dash of humor and irony that keeps you reading for the joy of it." -Washington Post "Powers is a fine writer with an elegant and imaginative style, and the things that happen in his story are just weird enough to make us wonder if everyday life might not be as normal as it seems." -The Philadelphia Enquirer A Fan Page for Tim Powers Personal Profile Bibliography and Reviews William Ashbless Links I finished DECLARE last week and it's an amazing book. I tried something similar in BLACK WIND (that is, take historical events and go behind them to show why these things =really= happened; it's not alternate history because events and outcomes remain unchanged, only the perception is altered) but Tim takes it to a daring extreme. He changes the whole subtext of the Cold War. The research must have been daunting. It's brilliant.

30. PUG: Tim Powers An interview from the PUG webzine. Also contains an excerpt from Earthquake Weather and a bibliography. http://www.pugzine.com/pug2/powers.html

by Skot Armstrong Tim Powers is a writer of extraordinary imagination and power whose books have found a broad audience that transcends the science-fiction and fantasy genres in which he is best known. He is the recipient of many high awards and honors, including twice winning the prestigious Philip K. Dick Memorial Award as well as World Fantasy Award, the Mythopoetic Award and the French Prix Apollo In books like The Anubis Gates Dinner at Deviants Palace The Stress of Her Regard (1989) and the forthcoming Earthquake Weather (of which we are delighted to publish an excerpt), Powers has fashioned a unique universe at once twisted and eerily familiar. His disarmingly effective prose style and penetrating feats of imagination have justly earned him legions of loyal fans across five continents. Powers was a close friend and confidant of the late and greatly lamented Philip K. Dick and, while stylistically very different, their work nevertheless shares many of the same concerns and a lively proclivity to subvert our everyday notions of the normal with a quirky vision that at times virtually borders on the satiric. space space

Transcript of Chat with James P. Blaylock on July 8, 1999 Welcome to Flashpoint! Our guest this week is author James P. Blaylock. He is the author of such novels as All The Bells On Earth, The Last Coin, Winter Tides and his newest, The Rainy Season , out soon in hardcover from Ace Books. Welcome to the chat, Jim. Thanks for coming. blaylock It's a pleasure to be here Dave. I'm on tenterhooks. To begin with, tell the audience a little about your new novel, The Rainy Season . Since the plot is not easily synopsible, tell us something about the themes and what you wanted accomplish with this novel. blaylock The Rainy Season is another one of my locally-set books, very rainy throughout; kind of an El Nino book, although I started it long before El Nino graced us with thirty-odd inches of rain. If I were superstitious, I'd figure that I'd caused the entire problem. Anyway, the book involves old dry wells and suddenly-reappearing people from the last century, as well as murder, mysterious objects, etc. It's about memory, the brevity of our existence, and the way we're haunted by the past. What was the initial spark in the process of creating this book?

In Conversation With Tim Powers In late September 1999 I travelled to the United States to attend CONUCOPIA - the 1999 North American Science Fiction Convention - which took place at the Marriott Hotel in Anaheim, California. Whilst I was there I had the great pleasure of meeting and spending some time with Tim and Serena Powers. Tim has been extremely helpful and generous towards this web site and his involvement with the project is reflected in this exclusive interview, the entire text of which (we talked for nearly two hours!) appears along with photos from the trip on the following pages. Also featured on most of the pages are Real Audio files of excerpts from the interview in which you can hear Tim Powers and I discussing the many topics we covered. You will need the Real Player plug in to hear these files. If you don't have it, click the icon below to download your free copy now and follow the set up instructions.

35. BookPage Fiction Review: Writers Of The Future, Volume XVI Review of the most recent Writers of the Future volume. Started in 1983 by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard,the contest winners (and anthology selections)are selected by a panels of stellar science fiction writers, such as Anne McCaffrey, Frederick Pohl and tim powers. http://www.bookpage.com/0101bp/fiction/writers_of_future.html

Writers of the Future, Volume XVI Bridge, $7.99 ISBN 1573182036 Send this review to a friend Starting out in science fiction It's never easy to get that first, big break in the world of publishing, but aspiring science fiction writers at least have a good place to start. Writers of the Future, started in 1983 by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, is an ongoing contest for the Arthur C. Clarke wannabes of the world. Three winners are selected each quarter by panels of experienced science fiction writers, such as Anne McCaffrey, Frederick Pohl and Tim Powers. The winners receive cash prizes ($1,000 for first place each quarter), but more importantly for some, they also get to see their stories in print. The winning entries are published in an annual anthology. The most recent anthology, Writers of the Future, Volume XVI offers an excellent chance to sample the imaginative, if sometimes unpolished, work of the up-and-coming SF crowd. Brief author bios reveal that the contestants work in all sorts of occupations (software, medicine, public relations, even one stand-up comedian) while dreaming of careers as science fiction writers. Perhaps they can take heart from the record of previous winners. Organizers report that of the 200 winners selected since the contest began, 130 have gone on to become professional writers.
