Produktbeschreibung

Cairo, The Conqueror, City of Cities, has been the horizon of a thousand minarets for as long as human history remembers, and yet, unbeknownst to them, humanity is the newcomer here. Below and beside, beset and beguiled, the ancient, supernatural denizens of Cairo lurk in secret side streets where the rules of reality are written sloppily and in pencil.

Tagi Alnoor Abdelaziz, a discontented office employee who longs to escape the confines of...well, everything, is pulled into Cairo's magical underbelly while seeking an assassin to kill his boss. Instead, a telepathic cat offers him a new, and probably impossible, job opportunity: unlearn normality and break a thousand-year curse before those trapped in it unravel the fabric of existence. Joined by an apathetic fire demon and sentient graffiti, Tagi begins a descent, ascent, and side-cent into Cairo's impossible, improbable, and impractical secret world. Will he transcend the limits of reality? Or be consumed by what lurks beyond it?

Similar books: A concept similar to Neverwhere (Neil Gaiman) in a setting like City of Brass (S.A. Chakraborty) with a writing style reminiscent of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Douglas Adams).

Approximently 400 pages. A detailed content review of this book can be found on the author's website.
