Random quote: My pass had disappeared. Not that I believed for a moment that this was an accident; in fact, I had suspected for some time now that the Cosmic Command, obviously no longer able to supervise every assignment on an individual basis when there were literally trillions of matters in its charge, had switched over to a random system. The assumption would be that every document, circulating endlessly from desk to desk, must eventually hit upon the right one. A time-consuming procedure, perhaps, but one that would never fail. The Universe itself operated on the same principle. And for an institution as everlasting as the Universe certainly our Building was such an institution the speed at which these meanderings and perturbations took place was of no consequence. - Stanislaw Lem (Memoirs Found in a Bathtub)

Bart, have you read this one yet? I don't really see a speculative element in the descriptions I found. Sounds a bit like the Da Vinci Code written by someone who can actually write to me.

I have read The Mirror Thief, and I would say it fits the Magical Realism category we have here. It's kind of an historical thriller with a side-order of magic.

I have read comparisons to Cloud Atlas...

Those comparisons are being made because it has three different storylines in three different times in history, something Cloud Atlas also did. But some of Cloud Atlas' storylines are in a hypothetical future. None in this book are -- and I've read several reviews where people complained about being misled by that comparison

However, Weesam has read it and says it is magical realism, and I've seen a couple of reviews which mention alchemy and magic, so it's probably sufficiently speculative.

I actually gasped when I read your request.  I could have sworn we had that series in already.  For any Ubers reading this, I have all the covers for these so you won't have to chase down the art.
