Review Summaries
" "Muse of Art" is the fourth book in Piers Anthony's wonderful Geodessy collection. It is a journey throughout time, following the lives of six individuals who discover themselves and each other through romance. From prehistoric man to the near future, Anthony weaves a disturbing tapestry of where humanity is headed.
Each chapter represents one of the arts, from seduction to war to irony. Anthony combines fact with fiction, as the characters grow and change throughout time. Each chapter begins and ends with a factual description of the era, the place, and the events that occur. A fantastic book that every reader should journey through."
