Murray C. Morison lives in Crete, and has studied how the Hermetic mysteries spread from Egypt through Greece and into Europe, being hidden in plain view up until the present day. He has worked as a lecturer in psychology, a psychotherapist and business consultant.
I gave this to my twelve year old, who is obsessed with history and
the possibility of time travel, and he adored it.--Yvie Field
Time Knot is a fast-paced, time-slip novel, a sequel to Morison's
debut, 'Time Sphere.' A most clever tale, unwrapping the notion
that 'Gods created time that mankind could be free...to choose as
their minds decided, ' Time Knot is a humorous, yet
thought-provoking read. The story opens with a prophecy: 'You must
go both North and South. Find the fire before you find the ice.
Trust the drum, it knows the dance of time. You are the dance and
the dancer.' And so it starts, the latest adventure of Rhory, The
Red King, dodging bullets, arrows, and disbelief from his big
sister, Juliette. Time-travelling to sixteenth century Sweden,
where he embarks on crystal boat ride in turquoise waters, and
sleigh-chases over a frozen lake, guided only by the yellow,
crescent moon and the stars, Rhory leaves behind himself only
foot-steps in the snow. Simultaneously, he 'lands' in modern-day
Alexandria, at first, unaware of those on his trail. "'BEWARE, '
whispered the soundless voice. A voice older than Alexandria. A
voice older than Egypt," denoting a slip back to Alexandria in the
year 380 CE for Rhory (and a timely move for this book aimed at the
YA market) offering up for the reader a rich, poetic insight into
the legend of the true Goddess Isis. Enriched by the scent of
ancient sandalwood and the timeless Northern lights, this tale of
alchemy stretches the imagination into what could be, and warns of
the possible repercussions of misplaced personal possessions! I'm
already pondering the next instalment.--Helen Noble, Author of The
49th Day
Time Knot is an excitingly non-stop adventure story, and Mr Morison
has developed a literary style that brings the reader four-square
into the exploits of the teenage protagonist Rhory as he pursues,
and in turn is pursued, through time and space in his efforts to
save the priceless wisdom of ancient Alexandria. The book is a more
than worthy successor to Time Sphere but it can most certainly be
read alone. Time Knot is aimed at a Young Adult market and it
strikes exactly the right balance between fantasy and historical
accuracy, neither condescending to the reader nor expecting too
much of her either. Rhory encounters unexpected twists and turns in
a dizzying helter skelter through time and space, and so will the
reader. It is a lot of fun!--Philip Duke, Author of A Terrible
Unrest
