Vast in scope and mythic in its themes, this debut novel by Hal Duncan is a wide-ranging science fiction tour-de-force set largely in the future (2017) but also in Babylonian legend, World War I, and the turn of the 21st century. Hal Duncan?s universe, known to the characters within it as the Vellum, is multi-dimensional, folding in on itself in a dizzying spectacle of literary and historical allusion. Appropriately, the book folds in on itself as well, with ancient Sumerian goddesses traveling through the deserts and temples of their own time one minute, and jumping into the leather-jacket cyberpunk cool of motorcycles and nanotechnology the next. VELLUM is the first in a two-book story collectively titled THE BOOK OF ALL HOURS.
