Wilson has a special talent for depicting things exactly as they are shown in a manner which serves only to complicate matters further; it is one of his greatest gifts, and has produced yet another brilliantly fascinating and engaging volume in this chronicle.

Trilogy, the narrator warns that what he has to say about the conspiracies may not be believable; and he doubts his credibility because he's not sure who he is. This begins a fractured narrative that changes times (before and after the climactic scene) and personae often, with no warning in the new speaker.
Comprised of three stories: The Eye in the Pyramid, The Golden Apple, and Leviathan, the book unfolds with the history of time as its backdrop and the figures of history among its characters.
Trilogy is a cult classic of truly epic proportions.
