In brief ^
To see is an act of will, and when the legendary island Metasoxl is
sighted, it must be embodied into the empire.
But the island defies conquest, and, like the unknown beings vaguely
spotted through the
lenses of the telescopes, it becomes ever more withdrawn for each attempt at striking land.
Taking its cues from legends about Alexander the Great, Hansi Linderoth's first novel has been called "a sci-fi novel set in antiquity, of a kind the old Greeks could have written had they been
familiar with Borges and Lem".
