Tempus [Janet Morris] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Tempus Review: Amazing series - Great addition to a wonderful book series, pick it up Review: Tempus and his right-side companion Niko, from the very beginning - Tempus is a novelized collection of the original stories about Tempus and the formation of his Sacred Band. Hard to find stories are here, such as "An End to Dreaming," which introduces Tempus's sister-in-arms, Cime, and Askelon, lord for dreams...written before there was a Thieves' World series. "A Man and His God" is here as well, the much-anthologized tale that creates the Sacred Band of Stepsons and contains probably the first male/male kiss in science fiction and fantasy. But don't buy it only for that. Buy it for the wondrous new material that gives us glimpses into the life of Nikodemos as a Bandaran adept and takes us to Bandara itself, the mystical island chain where Niko was trained in the mystery of Maat. If you love the Sacred Band of Stepsons, or just want a place to start in this multi-volume saga, then "Tempus" is the book for you.

My favorite Thieves' World Stepsons book has the wrong author associated with the title
I love this book. It has little-known stories and vignettes about the charcters from the Sacred Band; it has in-depth material on the Bandaran mystery of Maat and Niko, Tempus's partner and warrior-monk. It is tagged on Amazon with the wrong author name -- Richard Morris, rather than Janet Morris, who wrote the book. It would be nice if someone fixed it so that fans of the Sacred Band of Stepsons, Tempus and Niko, could find it.
