I read this the first time, a long long time ago
Anderson's magic touch with words shows up almost from the first sentence, and only deepens throughout both books. '
His craft and research also shines through with the references to our Iron limited era salted into the narative like the tasty bits on a soft pretzel!
Magister Lazarus, Indeed!

A classic
A seminal work of urban fantasy. First read it in high school in the early 70’s, it stands the test of time. Anderson’s multiverse world craft was groundbreaking, with believable science background and a strong cast of characters.

I love Poul Anderson's work
I enjoy the level of research Mr. Anderson puts into his stories. His diligence makes each reality seem as real as daily life.
