Opis

Druid Atticus O'Sullivan hasn't stayed alive for more than two millennia without a fair bit of Celtic cunning. So when vengeful thunder gods come Norse by Southwest looking for payback, Atticus, with a little help from the Navajo trickster god Coyote, lets them think that they've chopped up his body in the Arizona desert.

But the mischievous Coyote is not above a little sleight of paw, and Atticus soon finds that he's been duped into battling bloodthirsty desert shapeshifters called skinwalkers. Just when the Druid thinks he's got a handle on all the duplicity, betrayal comes from an unlikely source. If Atticus survives this time, he vows he won't be fooled again. Famous last words.

Recenzje

Praise for The Iron Druid Chronicles

[Kevin] Hearne is a terrific storyteller with a great snarky wit. . . . Neil Gaiman s American Gods meets Jim Butcher s Harry Dresden. SFFWorld

[The Iron Druid books] are clever, fast-paced and a good escape. Boing Boing

Hearne understands the two main necessities of good fantasy stories: for all the wisecracks and action, he never loses sight of delivering a sense of wonder to his readers, and he understands that magic use always comes with a price. Highly recommended. The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

Superb . . . plenty of quips and zap-pow-bang fighting. Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Celtic mythology and an ancient Druid with modern attitude mix it up in the Arizona desert in this witty new fantasy series. Kelly Meding, author of Chimera

[Atticus is] a strong modern hero with a long history and the wit to survive in the twenty-first century. . . . A snappy narrative voice . . . a savvy urban fantasy adventure. Library Journal

A page-turning and often laugh-out-loud funny caper through a mix of the modern and the mythic. Ari Marmell, author of The Warlord s Legacy

Outrageously fun. The Plain Dealer

Kevin Hearne breathes new life into old myths, creating a world both eerily familiar and startlingly original. Nicole Peeler, author of Tempest Rising

O autorze

Kevin Hearne hugs trees, pets doggies, and rocks out to heavy metal. He also thinks tacos are a pretty nifty idea. He is the New York Times bestselling author of The Iron Druid Chronicles, the Ink & Sigil series, and the Seven Kennings series, and is co-author of The Tales of Pell with Delilah S. Dawson.
