Synopsis

In some Worlds, Society depends on Technology to expand its horizons. In the Victorian world of the Wonder, Magic is the leading light. It powers an Empire through an Industrial Revolution towards boundless possibilities, including the invasion and colonisation of any neighbours who may have reserves of Magic themselves. In the follow-up to Blood Red, heroes and villains are forced together to defend their world against a smoke belching threat believed extinct for centuries. Despite the use of ancient magic and unlikely allies, a far-flung colony is forced to its knees as betrayal and treachery spread like a virus on both sides of an old war. As if "Quentin Tarantino decided to expand into the world of Steampunk." "This heavy action-packed novel came off more like Joseph Conrad meets the wild Westerns and magic." "like a cross between Terry Pratchett's Discworld and Glen Cook's Black Company books, on a base of 19th-century British adventure tales, so if you enjoy any of those things, you will probably find lots to enjoy here as well." "a meticulous marvel of madness." "lots of droll character development, very British, dry and funny as hell" "fast-moving, entertaining, and takes several interesting twists and turns." "The sheer volume of invention here is impressive."
