Registration requested.

Calling all Geeks, Nerds, and U!  Do you love getting lost in books about alternate universes?  Space?   Time travel? Anything science fiction related?  Then this GNU Book Discussion is for U!  

This month's book is A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark.  We have copies available in-Library and an audio edition available through our Hoopla service.

GNU will meet in a hybrid mode until further notice; if necessary we may move to fully on Zoom for specific get-togethers.

May the fourth (Wednesday) be with US!

A Master of Djinn synopsis:

Cairo, 1912: Though Fatma el-Sha'arawi is the youngest woman working for the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities, she's certainly not a rookie, especially after preventing the destruction of the universe last summer. So when someone murders a secret brotherhood dedicated to one of the most famous men in history, al-Jahiz, Agent Fatma is called onto the case. Al-Jahiz transformed the world forty years ago when he opened up the veil between the magical and mundane realms, before vanishing into the unknown. This murderer claims to be al-Jahiz, returned to condemn the modern age for its social oppressions. His dangerous magical abilities instigate unrest in the streets of Cairo that threaten to spill over onto the global stage. Alongside her Ministry colleagues and a familiar person from her past, Agent Fatma must unravel the mystery behind this imposter to restore peace to the city--or face the possibility he could be exactly who he seems...
