A friend suggested this book to me:

The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers

My friend was enthusiastic about the book and assured me I would like it.

I love the anticipation of getting into a new author. I am totally unfamiliar with Mr. Powers, except that I noticed he works in several genres. Jumping across genres is supposed to be bad for book sales because it confuses the Amazon algorithm, but I admire someone who does it unabashedly (i.e., without a pseudonym(pseudoname?)).

I have considered moving from Sci-fi / time travel to mystery and/or computer crime (my one claim to expertise). After I see what Mr. Powers had done, I'll have to revisit this idea and perhaps make the leap across genres.

What do _you_ think?

Cheers,
Kim
