Book Description

Aug 21 2007 Pyramid
"

The Pyramid is baacckk!" Well, actually, it never went away--but it had seemed to be inactive, still sitting in the middle of Chicago but no longer growing and wiping out buildings as it grew. The pyramidal device sent by the Krin to dominate the Earth had suffered a severe setback when the motley crew of ivory-tower academics, paratroopers, and one resourceful maintenance man had not only survived the worst that both the gods and mortals of Classical Greece and ancient Egypt could do, but had managed to escape from the ur-mythological world that the Krin pyramid had somehow brought to deadly life in a parallel dimension, bringing several beings out of myth along with them.

The Krin device would have been thwarted, if things had been left as they were--but a V.I.P., who knows too many state secrets to be allowed to be missing, was left behind in the world of Greek mythology. So a power-mad Washington bureaucrat has press-ganged several of the survivors of the first excursion into the pyramid's worlds and sent them, along with a team trained in "surgical strikes," to either bring back the V.I.P. or, if that's impossible, terminate him with extreme prejudice. Unfortunately, instead of returning to mythological Greece, they find themselves in the world of the Norse gods. Even if they manage to survive the enmity of Odin and his warriors, can manage to free Loki (a potential ally) and can keep the hard-drinking thunder-god Thor off the sauce long enough to help them, Ragnarok is coming, with the end of the world. And even a hard-headed maintenance man may have trouble fixing "that" problem!

Product Description

About the Author

Eric Flint is a popular star of SF and fantasy. His 1632, which launched the New York Times best-selling Ring of Fire series, sold out in hardcover almost immediately, followed by multiple printings in paperback. His first novel for Baen, Mother of Demons, was picked by SF Chronicle as a best novel of the year. He currently resides in northwest Indiana with his wife Lucille.

Dave Freer, author of The Forlorn and the critically acclaimed A Mankind Witch and of many articles in  scientific journals, is an expert on sharks and an accomplished rock climber, a wine-taster, a chef  and was an unwilling conscript in the “undeclared” South African-Angolan War. With Eric Flint he has co-authored Rats, Bats & Vats, The Rats, the Bats & the Ugly, and the prequel to Pyramid Power, Pyramid Scheme.  He has also collaborated with Mercedes Lackey and Eric Flint in a sweeping alternate history-fantasy set in the Renaissance. The first two books in the series, The Shadow of the Lion and This Rough Magic have been enthusiastically received by critics and readers. The trio have also produced a sequel to James H Schmitz’s classic The Witches of Karres, The Wizard of Karres. Freer lives in KwaZulu, with his wife Barbara, two sons, and far too many dogs and cats. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Romp Through Norse Mythology Sep 26 2007
By Robert Cruze Jr. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Flint and Freer once again craft another fun-filled (or is it pun-filled) tale in their sequel to 2001's Pyramid Scheme, which skewers and roasts Norse mythology with as much good humor and irreverence as they did to Greek and Egyptian mythology in the first book. It has all you could ever ask for in a book: alcoholic gods, scheming government bureaucrats, and lovesick flatulent dragons!

A thoroughly enjoyable tale by the same warped minds that brought you Rats, Bats & Vats and The Rats, the Bats & the Ugly. Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbeatable Aug 24 2007

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is in someways an even better book than the original. Both have good action, bad puns, great pacing and three dimensional characters. P-Power takes you to the under explored Norse Mythology Urworld. Fascinating. My favorite novel of the year.
