TROUBLE OVER TIME

Mike Gabrieli’s brother Tom has always had one talent: getting into trouble. But this time, Tom has disappeared after mysteriously gaining possession of a priceless Aztec artifact. Mike sets out to find Tom, never suspecting that he is about to be shuttled back and forth in time, and between alternate universes, as he learns that the descendants of the Incas have a plan to keep Pizarro and his conquistadors from overthrowing their ancestors’ empire. So begins Fred Saberhagen’s classic novel The Mask of the Sun.

Golden Reflections presents the novel Mask of the Sun followed by seven original stories, each set in Saberhagen’s alternate universe where Incas and Aztecs war for control of time lines and the Mask, a device that allows the wearer to see the future, is the ultimate weapon. Kings, fools, soldiers, the shipwrecked, the willing and the not so willing encounter the Mask. Far-ranging understates the scope and depth of these stories from the Pharaohs’ Egypt, Mexico, the Gulf Coast, the Pueblo Revolt, the Alamo, the American Revolution, to Nazi Germania 2032.
