Publisher's Summary
The editors, who have spent altogether too much time rewriting crackpot manuscripts on the occult by fanatics and dilettante, decide to have a little fun. They'll create a Plan of their own. But how? Randomly they throw together manuscript pages on hermetic thought: The Masters of the World, who live beneath the earth. The Comte de Saint-Germain, who lives forever. They add Satanic initiation rites of the Kings of the Temple, Assassins, Rosicrucians, Brazilian voodoo, the Third Reich. And they feed all this, and much more, into their powerful computer. Abulafia. A terrific joke, they think, until the Plan assumes a life and power of its own, and turns deadly...as people mysteriously begin to disappear, one by one, starting with Colonel Ardenti.

Very enjoyable.
I have enjoyed the works of Umberto Eco, and this one is a worthwhile journey.

Mythology
This is like the history of mythology made real. We all succumb to the legends that we want to pursue, thereby making it true. The things we imagine and create stories for becomes diabolical when fanatic suasion embues it with life.

Intriguing book too heavily abridged
I would strongly recommend that you skip this audio edition and read the book in its entirety. If I had known how very heavily abridged this would be I would not have purchased it. The original work is obviously and purposefully quite dense, and some of the better material I remember from my reading many years ago has gone missing from the audio book. Tim Curry's performance is good, but the audio quality is overall poor, with a very noticeable buzz at times.

This recording this is just a summary!
This recording is just a summary of the book without saying! Is it a scam?

Abridged
It’s done well but I feel it should be disclosed that this is an abridged version.
