The Mask of Circe

A psychiatrist travels to a world of magic and gods in this take on "Jason and the Argonauts" from the Hugo Award–nominated author of Earth's Last Citadel.

 


Jay Seward remembers a former life in a land of magic, gods, and goddesses—a time when he was Jason of Iolcus, sailing in the enchanted ship Argo to steal the Golden Fleece from the serpent-temples of Apollo. But one night the memories become startlingly real, as the Argo itself sails out of the spectral mists and a hauntingly beautiful voice calls: "Jason . . . come to me!"


 


And suddenly he's on the deck of the Argo, sailing into danger and magic . . .
