Middle

In 2015 a man who has been alive since the last Ice Age bought a tape recorder and started dictating his memoirs as fast as he could while waiting for a mysterious visitor who may finally be the death of him. What will he say now that he is at last free to share the secrets his immortality has shown him?He traded Tyrian Purple dye all over the world.He was the guardian angel to a number of Phoenician queens.He founded Carthage and then watched it die.He circumnavigated Africa in a voyage almost lost in time.He did his best to ignore Rome's rise and fall. He thought he was living through the end of the world.All these and more make up the second day's session with the tape recorder.Middle is the second book in the Tape Recorder Trilogy, a journey through humanity's past from before recorded history up to the twenty-first century. Starting with becoming a Phoenician at the dawn of the Iron Age, Middle sees our narrator move from life to life over the course of centuries as he journeys throughout the Mediterranean world and beyond. As a man of standing in first Tyre and then Carthage and then Rome and then Constantinople, he watches the rise and fall of empires, much to his regret.Throughout his travels he meets people from all walks of life, some of whom go on to be remembered to the present day, others of whom are all but forgotten. It is his pleasure in the privacy of his own home to finally say what really happened all those years ago.
