The sequel to Aegypt is Love & Sleep (see separate entry). The second novel in Crowley's tetralogy employs many of the same characters as Aegypt and continues to develop the themes of time and memory that occupy Crowley in Aegypt. Love & Sleep carries forward the main plot lines: the search for the world's secret history and the struggle of Pierce Moffett for personal happiness.
