The time travel in The Anubis Gates must, according to Nahin, be classified as Fantasy and not Science Fiction because it does not employ a machine to accomplish the temporal displacement. Nahin sets forth a means of categorization for time travel stories. As part of that year-long reading excursion into the temporal unknown I encountered the critical work on the subject: Time Machines by Paul J. I am a particular fan of time travel once having spent an entire year reading all manner of time travel stories. The Anubis Gates employs time travel as an essential element of the story. All his works have in common the same baroque complexities of plotting and workings of magic all are populated by the most weirdly wonderful characters. In the interim, I have read and listened to several other Tim Powers novels. Now listening to it after these many years I am struck by the same impressions again. I remember being struck by the uniqueness of his take on the fantasy genre such intricate and convoluted plotting such bizarre complexities of magical interactions such wonderfully madcap characters. The Anubis Gates was-many years ago-my first exposure to the phantasmagorical writings of Tim Powers. Yesterday… All My Troubles Seemed So Far Away
