Brendan Doyle, a specialist in the work of the early ninteenth-century poet William Ashbless, reluctantly accepts an invitation from a millionaire to act as a guide to time-travelling tourists. But, while attenting a lecture given by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1810, he becomes marooned in Regency London, where dark and dangerous forces know about the gates in time. Caught up in the intrigues between riven bands of beggars, pursued by Egyptian sorcerers, befriended by Coleridge, Doyle somehow survives. And learns more about the mysterious Ashbless than he could ever have imagined possible...
The story starts off a little slow (at least I thought so), but after the first 40 or 50 pages its easy to become addicted. Overall, a really awesome book worth reading!
