What separates man from beast? Our curiosity and creativity. We are unsurpassed in the arts of survival and healing, building and planning, seduction and murder. In Muse of Art, Piers Anthony takes readers across the grand sweep of human history to examine how our unique talents have formed--and destroyed--our civilization time and time again. Through the eyes of three remarkable women, we witness how only humans could have brought about the mysteries of Egypt, the battles of Romans and Celts, the Napoleonic Wars, the siege of Stalingrad, and much more. Muse of Art follows Hope of Earth, Isle of Woman, and Shame of Man, though each book in the Geodyssey series can be read as a standalone novel.
