The Tempered Steel of Antiquity Grey (2021)
Shawn Speakman
"Thrilling, unputdownable, bursting with sense of wonder... The Tempered Steel of Antiquity Grey is a marvel. Teenaged-me would have went absolutely apeshit for this book, and actually adult-me kind of did too."
thumb
Tomorrow Factory (2018)
Rich Larson
"One of the most exciting and prolific science fiction and fantasy writers working today. His range - and of course his talent - is remarkable."
thumb
The Clockwork Dynasty (2017)
Daniel H Wilson
"Action-packed and uniquely imagined with robots--and history!--like you've never seen before, The Clockwork Dynasty is a thrilling ride from start to finish."
