In the SF circuits, Nil Niwanson is well-known and, in the same circles, the lesser known Nicholas Galand have joined together about the literary undertaking of the cigar volume “Rise and Fall of DODO”.
The sighted military intelligence / physicist encounters something less spectacular, but, therefore, fondly wound up a doctor of classical science and lets her have a huge number of historical texts for translation. She accepts the work, and immediately realizes something unusual: every one of them deals with magic, and speaks of magic as a commonly known phenomenon.
And that’s the least strange part of the novel.
Stevenson and Galand describe their further research, painfully apparent sexual tension and unusual experiences from the perspective of multiple characters, with numerous variations of form and characteristic humor on the trail of Stivenson’s Cryptoiconon. Alternativeist magical SF sounds like a suspicious combination of genres, but is it impossible?
