The Mirror of Eternity 4

This book can be read on its own as a romp through the ideas of Science Fiction, Arthurian Romance and Satanism.

It is also a continuation of the stories of the #mirrorofeternity characters Characters

Xavier Hollands
Following four years spent doing his PhD Xavier had various academic jobs but his special desire to look into the past continued. He continued work on The Mirror of Eternity.

Drinking to excess, experimenting with drugs, he eventually realised what he wanted the Mirror of Eternity to be. It could be of no value to commercial sponsors or to respectable scientists like his father.
Indeed its only advantage was that it worked.

He appeared in all of the Mirror of Eternity books.

Wolf-Dietrich von Raitenau

It was in Salt Wars that Wolf-Dietrich decided to take Xavier under his wing. Who was under whose wing has been a matter for debate. While Xavier was not used to the dreamscape and Wolf-Dietrich was able to teach him a lot, Wolf-Dietrich was not familiar with the modern world and had a lot to learn too.
Wolf-Dietrich is in three of the Mirror of Eternity books

Tilly
Tilly was Xavier's girlfriend in Salt Wars and his wife in The Miranda Revolution. She is just the balance that Wolf-Dietrich and Xavier need. They will not allow themselves to be distracted from the big political picture.

Tilly never takes her eyes off the suffering of the poor. She identifies herself as "Sister Lam".

She appears in three of the Mirror of Eternity books.

Miranda

When the Dictator's wife was killed, he created a group of women who were as similar to her as plastic surgery and cosmetics could make them.
Inside the palace, they were called "The Mirandas". Outside they were called "Miranda" and there was a cult of Miranda and her reputed ability to "stay the hand of the tyrant".

Geert
