Sojourn: Gates of Ivory, Gates Of Horn by Denn William Quinn Pdf

Who am I? What is my purpose? Before only available in e-manuscript to the “Geek Underground” on campus, here for the first time in print is Denn “Doc” Quinn’s disturbing vision of the world of the Pharak and Mukti, a chilling dreamscape woven and governed by the forces of Psytechsci, policed by the brutally repressive kordac-mukti, and haunted by the nightmare figures of shadow-stalkers, ghouls who devour souls; by high-tech pleasure junkies who steal identities and experiences; by pharaphrenics, sexually ambiguous beings capable of mind invasion; and by the Innominati, whose bodies emptied of essence drift like aimless wraiths through the night. This is the world to which the Pharak Andrew awakens following a mysterious surgery that has left him with partial amnesia and an identity reconstructed by government scientists. Before long Andrew discovers discrepancies between the life that science has given him and the life he seems once to have led. Confused by vague memories of his former self, troubled by bizarre dreams that will not let him alone, Andrew determines to unravel his past. Wandering in an existential labyrinth, he can cling to but one certainty: that he is a citizen of the City of Singular Longing. Beneath the utopian surface of the city, however, lurks a world oppressed by class antagonisms and rebellion and a world unfitted to furnish satisfying answers to Andrew’s most urgent questions. Only the Liminal, the trackless wilderness beyond the city, may hold the answers. The Liminal—to which all access has been sealed off by protective shield. A forbidden space. An impenetrable space except to rebels like Andrew bold enough to risk everything to get there. The Liminal—where the fugitive soul, if unprepared for the revelations that await it, may in the act of self-discovery lose itself forever in the deeper spaces of endless dream. Or nightmare.

Gate of Ivory, Gate of Horn by Robert Holdstock Pdf

This novel tells the story that precedes MYTHAGO WOOD. Steven Huxley's father, George, and brother, Christian, elusive, shadowy figures in MYTHAGO WOOD, are the protagonists. This book tells of the beginning of the strange hold that Ryhope Wood will develop over the Huxley family, and George's discovery of the primeval woodland that holds the 'mythagos' - figures from myth, legend or dream - is wonderfully detailed. Mirroring the fate of his brother in MYTHAGO WOOD, Christian is drawn into Ryhope in an attempt to find Guiwenneth, the mythago who has held a special allure for all the men of the Huxley family. His quest, though, is more complex as he is also searching for his mother and, although he would deny it, the father who's obsession has cost the family so much. Christian's introduction to the wood is fascinatingly drawn and in many ways this is the most fantastical of the entire series, replete with mythic archetypes and the dark, mysterious atmosphere that marks the MYTHAGO books as the very best in the field.

Through the Gate of Ivory by Patrick Devaney Pdf

Trinity student Charles Stanihurst, the son of a Dublin merchant and a Roscommon chambermaid, flees his native city after assaulting an English officer and heads for the West of Ireland, where he encounters a culture virtually unknown within the pale. Beyond the Shannon much of the old Gaelic way of life is still intact, though under growing threat from the political power and land greed of the 'foreigners'. Charles is forced to confront divisions between his Anglo-Irish and Gaelic loyalties, while seeking his spiritual father, Bishop William Bedell, who is translating the Old Testament into Irish. Set in post-Flight of the Earls, pre-Cromwellian Ireland of 1641, this novel tells the gripping story of a struggle between two opposing cultures that set the scene for the rebellion sealing the fate of Gaelic Ireland.
