4.9/5 (15324 ratings)

Description:The sorcerer Simon Magus was the first supervillain of early Christian legend. Many tales tell of his magical battles with the first apostles, his attempts to corrupt the new Church with money and heresy, and his final ignominious downfall before the Emperor Nero. Only now, after millennia of slander, can we hear Simon's story in his own words. It's time for the truth, from the Father of Lies! Young Shim of Gitta in Samaria is riding an oxcart to catch a ship to Egypt. His whole village has pooled their resources to send him to the Academy in Alexandria, hoping he will return with the knowledge and connections to rise in the Roman administration. Shim has other plans, involving the mysteries buried in the arcane texts and lost tombs of that ancient land. Suddenly he spies a man, beaten and bloody, almost dead by the side of the road... Thus begins A Search in Secret Egypt, the first volume of The Acts of Simon Magus. In it we learn of Shim's early life: his roving father, his dead brother (who won't leave him alone) and the village witch woman who has doomed him to a mysterious, inconvenient quest. In Alexandria he moves into a tomb, studies under protoChristian philosopher Philo, participates in an epic hoax and, with the sorceress Selene, reaches for the ultimate power in a Lovecraftian climax. In future volumes, Shim's story will see him • lead his own charismatic cult to become Simon Magus, Great Power of God • find Holy Wisdom in a brothel • participate in the odd events surrounding an execution in Jerusalem • have a hot night with a future saint • clash with the devotees of a strange new sect • travel to the ends of Earth and beyond climaxing in an epic magical contest in Rome.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
