Synopsis

Cover Art: Peter Elson (illustrator). 1993 Edition. © 1992: 2nd in the 'Spiral' series of books. 1st printing of 1993 edition:- Synopsis: 'East of the sun and west of the moon' you may find a freighter carrying ivory to Hy Brasil, mammoth tusks to Tartessos and Ashkelon. Another world of strangeness and high adventure waits, never far from our own; round a corner, through a door of a harbourside inn and you may find yourself there. 'The Gates Of Noon':- Review(s): "Strong images and some great (and weird) sea battles keep the plot moving, while the concept of sailing in and out of myth remains compelling. A romping mix of contemporary fantasy, ancient myth and old-fashioned sea story, that I recommend highly" - Locus / "Intelligent and exceedingly well-written, this adventure adroitly uses the baggage of fantasy to fresh and original advantage. An enjoyable and fast-moving read" - Stan Nicholls, The Dark Side:- (original cost £4.99). Seller Inventory # 14.005.00273
