Epigraph

In books lies the soul of the whole Past
Time; the articulate audible voice of the Past,
when the body and material substance of it
has altogether vanished like a dream.

Thomas Carlyle

Dedication

For Kim Newman, compañero

First words

PANDARAS ENTERED THE shadowy arena of the Basilica just as one half of the defense force charged at the other.
