Description:
Sean McMullen is one of the hottest young writers working today. He is a three-time winner of the Ditmar Award in his native Australia, and his last novel, The Centurion's Empire, won an Aurealis Award. The hardcover publication of Souls in the Great Machine brought McMullen's work to a whole new audience here in the U. S.; it now comes to paperback with a great deal of critical acclaim behind it.
Expand description
It is the fortieth century. Librarians fight duels for the honor of their computers, railway captains die for the honor of their galley engines, and technology is limited to biplanes and wind trains. In McMullen's glittering, dynamic, exotic future a faint mirrorsun hangs in the night sky, a mysterious siren "Call" lures people to their death, and an ancient, forgotten device threatens the world with a new ice age. Only one man knows what's behind it all and how to stop it, but he has mysteriously disappeared -- and time is running out.
