 Ol' Clark Johnsen once said that he had five favorite LvB "Waldstein" sonata recordings, and that one of the relatively present-day ones was Hyperion Knight's debut recording on Wilson Audio LPs. Not content to rest on such laurels, Hyperion and his significant other have published a novel in the sci-fi/fantasy genre. Here's the blurb: START The Manuscript is an extraordinary tale of love, faith, power and the battle between good and evil. It's a humorous and engrossing read about a book that cannot be read.Pandemic arrives from Asia and decimates medieval Italy. A selfless monk, mired in the suffering around him, labors in disguise to write a manual for mankind to guide them through the crisis. Centuries later, his book, now known as the Voynich Manuscript, makes its way to America and becomes a carefully guarded treasure at Yale University. But there's a catch: the notorious Voynich Manuscript is in a language unknown to mankind, defying all attempts at translation. A sinister secret society, determined to solve its riddles, ensnares an ordinary New Yorker, Emma Novak, in its plotting. Emma, an aspiring artist who has been unlucky in love, soon finds herself entangled in a romantic triangle with larger than life characters.Set against the exciting backdrop of New York with all its charms, The Manuscript peers into a spiritual world usually hidden from view. This epic tale, spanning half a millennium, culminates in titanic forces revealing themselves in a high stakes contest for humanity. END An earlier version of this story took first place in its category in a New York competition for movie scripts that had not yet been picked up by a studio. The manuscript in question is the Voynich Manuscript, which has fascinated scholars for more than 100 years, and which was donated to Yale in the 1960s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voynich_manuscript Perhaps a few years from now we will all be able to say that we knew him when... .
