Many Waters	comment	Many Waters is the fourth of Madeleine L'Engle's Time Quintet books to be published, but the third chronologically. It is the only one to focus on the Murry twins, Sandy and Dennys. After an accident in their parents' lab, they are transported back to ancient times, where 4-foot-tall humans coexist with mammoths and seraphim. They are saved from certain death in the desert by a young man named Japheth and his family, headed by stern patriarch Noah (yes, that Noah). Stuck in the ancient desert for now, Sandy and Dennys adapt to their harsh environment.For the inhabitants of the oasis, the twins' arrival is just the beginning of many changes. Noah receives messages from the being "El" that troubled times lie ahead, including a great flood. Sandy and Dennys have to find a way back to the present before "many waters" flood the desert.Preceded by A Swiftly Tilting Planet. Followed by An Acceptable Time.

Many Waters / int_4977559e	comment	Our Angels Are Different: In contrast to Progo, the seraphim and nephilim are more like what a contemporary audience would think of as angels. The seraphim are basically servants of God on earth and usually have eyes and wings coloured in warm shades of gold or silver, or sky blue. The nephilim, which are implied to be fallen angels, have eyes and wings of darker colors like vivid reds and violets. They are all immortal, and not outright antagonistic with each other, but the nephilim are trapped on earth whereas the seraphim can return to heaven. Also, each one has an animal form he can change into — the seraphim are usually mammals or birds while nephilim take the shapes of worms, snakes, dragons, and other ugly things. Though one seraph turns into a dung beetle.

The animal forms taken by the nephilim are mostly reptiles, insects, and desert scavengers; the seraphim primarily take the forms of mammals and birds, but also include a scarab beetle (Adnarel) and a golden snake (Abasdarhon). Aariel, the seraph most active in the story, transforms into a lion, while his nephil counterpart Eblis appears in a form described as a "dragon/lizard."

Many Waters / int_511728ae	comment	Magic Versus Science: Amusingly averted. Despite coming from a time of magical beasts and miracles, when the twins come back to the present with the aid of the seraphim, one of them seems to be quite completely at home in a modern technological setting, even looking through Dr. Murry's microscope and commenting on how close he is to a scientific breakthrough. Of course angels likely exist outside of time, or in many times concurrently, so moving between the times of magic and science (and their mindsets) is likely not hard for them at all. In previous books, it's implied that magic and science are essentially the same thing, so this isn't entirely surprising.

Many Waters / int_b7b1aa73	type	And Then What?
Many Waters / int_b7b1aa73	comment	And Then What?: Sandy and Dennys realize that Yalith isn't in the Bible. That means that it's highly likely that she will die in the Flood. They discuss if they could bring her back to their time and save her life, but find a logical problem: her immune system. She won't have the means to fight off twentieth-century germs and viruses, even with vaccines. It turns out that El personally escorts Yalith out of the danger zone, thanks to the seraphs.

Many Waters / int_b7e0c5ff	type	Love Triangle
Many Waters / int_b7e0c5ff	comment	Love Triangle: Sandy/Yalith/Dennys, sort of. The twins both love Yalith, but they don't fight over her and, in the end, neither of them gets her. Two non-romantic (on one side), but still competitive examples: Ugiel/Mahlah/Alarid and Aariel/Yalith/Eblis.
