LATE EXTRA!BOMB OUTRAGE IN LONDON!A masked
terrorist has brought London to its knees -- there are bombs inside
books, and nobody knows which ones. On the day of the launch of the
first expedition to Mars, by giant cannon, he outdoes himself with an
audacious attack.For young poet Orphan, trapped in the screaming
audience, it seems his destiny is entwined with that of the shadowy
terrorist, but how? His quest to uncover the truth takes him from the
hidden catacombs of London on the brink of revolution, through
pirate-infested seas, to the mysterious island that may hold the secret
to the origin not only of the shadowy Bookman, but of Orphan himself...Like a steam-powered take on V for Vendetta, rich with satire and slashed through with automatons, giant lizards, pirates, airships and wild adventure. The Bookmanis the first of a series.“The Bookman is without a doubt the most enjoyable, fascinating and captivating book I have read in a long time. It has managed to claim the throne as my favorite steampunk novel from Moorcock’s A Nomad of the Time Streams… Not only because of the plot and the world with its automatons, simulacra and the giant space cannon, it is also in itself an intricate work of art, very much like clockwork. The story’s depth is revealed piece by piece, gear by gear, during the entire length of the novel up until the end, which makes for a very exciting and captivating read. It took me very much until the last chapter to piece all the details together, combine all the different gears and cogwheels to one beautiful apparatus, to grasp the full expanse of what was actually going on right from the start of the novel. Finally in the end I understood and was left with the images of a truly fascinating story and world in my mind. But it is not only the depth of the plot, its many twists and mysteries which kept me glued to its pages, it is also the cast of characters and the many striking details of the world, which make this book so enjoyable.”- Dailysteampunk.com Views: 33
