Quest for Apollo

This is a story of an American writer who encounters the legendary Virgil in the woods of Italy. He is taken on a wonderful trip through time, and sees ancient cities and empires. Their quest is to find the God Apollo, and if they fail, the world will be destroyed. It is a wonderful story, with fast paced action. The author also manages to slip in tidbits of knowledge concerning each era that the characters stumble into. A wonderful book that I never tire of. Full of vivid imagery and humorous adventures. A real surprise ending.
