wow, just wow!  This is another wonderful work from an artist so accomplished and talented that there aren't any superlatives or phrases adequate to describe her writing - although Harper Fox could do it, were she inclined to write about herself.  At the London Olympics there were performances so beautiful, virtually flawless, that you sometimes found yourself holding your breath and not realizing that you were doing that - some of the diving competitions come to mind, where the competitors seemed to detach themselves from the gravity that binds the rest of us, effortlessly held in midair for a moment before deciding to come back down to where we mere mortals sat waiting - watching them is like reading a story like this one - here the words, and story, sail in the air, mesmerizing the reader until he or she comes back to earth with the last paragraph.  But between the liftoff and the slicing into the water there's a tightly woven story about love and self-redemption, some hold-onto-your-seat action and a bit of the paranormal as well.  Who cares if the ancients knew more about life than we do - Harper Fox is real, today, and writing stuff that deserves to be read and savored by the widest audience possible.  Grab this one and get ready to hold your breath.
