Man Of Many Turnings — Richard Quarry

When the Egyptian goddess Hathor geeks out and turns into a flying, fire-breathing lion determined to eat the world alive, Isis and Thoth decide that only the Greek hero Odysseus possesses the cunning to outwit her. So they send a time-storm around to collect him. They even throw in a balloon ship to update his transportation. Which does however contain one trifling caveat: the crew consists of Amazons with a seething hatred of all males, and a mad teenage shaman whose visions call for offering their goddess parts of him he's grown rather fond of.A game of turn-about's-fair-play ensues as Odysseus, his captors, mad Queen Nefertiti, and a crew of time-stranded Vikings race each other down the Nile to reach the temple of Hathor at Dendara, each hoping to turn the berzerker goddess to their side — if she doesn't fry them first. But after a jaunt in the Egyptian Underworld, Odysseus gets a better offer from Set, the God of Evil.The kind of offer you can't refuse.
