If you are looking for spaceships and warp drive, or even conventional swords and sorcery, this isn't the book for you. It's arguably mostly historical fiction, with Wolfe's usual superb eye for detail - all that makes it fantasy is the acceptance that the gods really exist, and can be seen by Latro, a man who forgets every day what has gone before. A fascinating, unique book (technically two books, Soldier in the Mist and Soldier of Arete combined into one volume) that gives a real insight into how it might have been to see the world through eyes that truly believed in the Ancient Greek myths and legends. Suffers very slightly from the problem most Wolfe fans would acknowledge - his endings tend to be a bit abrupt - but this a remarkable book that spans the gap between historical fiction and fantasy. Superb.

Small and meaningless coincidence - our own Imagination Engineering creativity book features both a short story by Wolfe and another story about someone who forgets everything each night.
