Book description
The Mathematics of Magic was probably the greatest discovery of the
ages - at least Professor Harold Shea thought so. With the proper
equations, he could instantly transport himself back in time to all the
wondrous lands of ancient legend. But slips in time were a hazard, and
Shea's magic did not always work - at least, not quite as he expected .
. . The Wall of Serpents is the third in L. Sprague de Camp and Fletcher
Pratt's much-loved Compleat Enchanter series. Lyon Sprague de Camp was
born in 1907 and died in 2000. During a writing career that spanned
seven decades, he wrote over a hundred books in the areas of science
fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, non-fiction and biography.
Although arguably best known for his continuation of Robert E. Howard's
Conan stories, de Camp was an important figure in the formative period
of modern SF, alongside the likes of Isaac Asimov and Robert A.
Heinlein, and was a winner of the Hugo, World Fantasy Life Achievement
and SFWA Grand Master awards.
