The story is a clever combination of historical fact - the 16th century Siege of Vienna by the Turks - and fantasy around the Arthurian legends, with a dash of norse mythology to boot. Inventive, wryly amusing
It is also quite funny in places, which is less common in his later work. Later Kara tries to kill Arthur and is sentenced to death, with Arthur turning...
When Brian Duffy, an ageing soldier of fortune, is recruited in Venice by a strange old man to work as a bouncer in Vienna at an inn where the fabulous Herzwesten beer is brewed, everything seems straightforward.
I held off on buying this because I was unsure if it wouldnt be disappointing following The Anubis Gates but I shouldnt have, its an awesome read. Alternate Routes (1) (Vickery and Castine)
Lots of swordfights, a few jokes and plenty of interesting background and historical detail.
Here ... here?s some money.

Jeter and James Blaylock, who became friends and occasional collaborators, and the three of them are regarded as the founding fathers of the steampunk literary movement. The seamless and seemingly effortless blend of action and humor, the wonderful characters, the rich settings, the brilliant plot—all of it is perfect." If you haven't read Tim Powers, and want to try his work, this is a good place to start.
Five stars for a well-paced and enjoyable read. The re-release of Tim Powers's
A good yarn mixing older legends with more modern history I was as hard to put down this time as it was the first. It was entertaining, humorous quite often and occasionally enthralling... but it wasn't "Declare".
Tim Powers (1952 - ) Tim Powers was born in Buffalo, New York, and educated at California State University, gaining a degree in English.
But his journey is far from it.

The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three . The narrator increases the interest in the novel with the magic of his voice.
