Excerpt from A Tangled Skein A Blazing sunset in the Indian ocean, out of sight of land, - and a great steamship throbbing her resolute way in solitary grandeur through the glittering waves that creamed and darkened in her wake! I think I can picture the scene in my own mind, but I had rather not try to describe it; for I was born within the sound of Bow bells, have never been to India, and consequently never came back from thence. I% have to deal with very stern realities affecting persons, most of whom I can lay my hands upon at a few hours notice, and associate them with scenes familiar to me from my youth, - all but this. I should not like to run the risk of marring what I know, by attempting to detail what I have only heard of. I have read, - (who has not?) - much print about the Overland Route. Shall I take down from their shelves half a dozen of the books in which it is described, hash up for you as many odds and ends of scenes and sketches therein contained, and serve up the dish in a sauce of. my own composition? Will it possess the genuine Indian flavor? I am afraid not. It would taste of the pot; and I should be sure to put in some ingredient which, without being pleasing to the palate of the uninitiated, would expose my poor rechauffe in its true character. No! I will, if you please, describe that which I have seen, - and that only. The vessel in question was the Peninsular and Oriental steamship Ganges, Captain Stevenson, bound to Suez. She had on board many sufferers by the Indian mutiny, and amongst them Captain Stephen Frankland, of the Bengal Light Cavalry. You will be good enough to picture for yourselves the good ship which is bearing him, the persons of his fellow-voyagers (other than those to whom you will be introduced), and the appearances of the sunset which he is watching on the evening of the 8th of July, 1858, when first he is presented to your notice. Brave, honest, Stephen Frankland! If there ever was a man who deserved to have a smooth and pleasant pilgrimage through life, it was he; but Fate, chance, a combination of untoward circumstances, call it what you please, took up the thread of his life and tangled it, as we shall see, into a dark web, in which all hope and happiness seemed at one time to be lost. It is his story that I am about to tell, therefore let me photograph him at once, as it were, on the title-page of my book. He is incapable of resisting the indignity; for he has been to deaths door with jungle fever combined with sunstroke, and is still very, very weak, so weak that it has taken him half an hour to totter from his cabin to the spot where he now reclines, wrapped in bis regimental cloak, and gazing over the darkening sea westward, far westward! towards the home he has not seen for years, that he may never see again! Did he stand upright, he would measure at least five feet eleven, and his wasted limbs, that are now extended in such lamentable helplessness upon the deck, were, a few weeks ago, full of grace and strength. He has fought under Havelock, he has inarched with Chamberlayne, he has borne the whole brunt of the mutiny. He is one of that scant band of heroes who kept the tiger at bay, hurling him back, in spite of all his frantic bounds, till England arose in her might and strangled the. bloody brute in his lair! He has won the Victoria Cross, and by and by, when the armies are amalgamated, will be made a brevet-major, if he has a friend at the Horse Guards to remind the authorities of his services.

Here in this third complete-in-itself novel of the Incarnations of Immortality, Piers Anthony weaves a fascinating plot as tangled as any skein of fate. This is Anthony at his most ingenious, with another gripping fantasy of the struggle of the incarnations against the machinations of Satan. When the man Niobe loved was shot, she learned that she had been the target, in a devious plot of the Devil's. Hoping for revenge. Niobe accepted a position as one of the three Aspects of Fate, only to find that Satan's plots were tangled into the very Tapestry of Fate. Now the Evil One was laying a trap to ruin Niobe's granddaughter Luna, who threatened his plans—and he had tricked her son into Hell. Niobe's only chance to save her son and Luna was to accept a challenge by the Prince of Deceit—a challenge to be decided in Hell and in a maze of Satan's devising!
