Summary Book One of the Trilogy of Time Luxor, Upper Egypt � mid Sixties. Captain Mustapha Sawat, of the Egyptian Secret Police, is suspicious about the mysterious disappearance of an English Artist and an Old Lady from a dilapidated old monastery near to Luxor. He finds a diary written by the artist - Jock Slater, and is suddenly plunged into a world of fantasy and deception. For the diary tells of the exploits of the Artist as he attempts to unravel the truth behind the Old Lady�s claim to be a reincarnated queen. Sceptical to the last, Captain Sawat reads of the strange accounts of the construction of an enormous painting, commissioned by the Old Lady, which has the power to �take people back� � into another dimension. The diary tells of Jock Slater�s decent into Nethertime, a �non-dimension�, and of his meeting Smirtin and Ogadile � Afreet (Genie) brother and sister, Errol � a former matinee idol, Isis the Goddess, and many more colourful characters, as the Artist pursues his epic journey. Ironically the Captain has a role to play in the final solution to the mystery of the Old Lady�s true identity. |
