'Great characters, fine writing, totally engrossing' STEPHEN KING
It might have been the end of days. Instead it was the beginning of
something shockingly new. They called the comet Cain, after the
astronomer who discovered it. It passed 500,000 miles from Earth.
We were spared planetary destruction and granted a light show like
no other. But, one year later, Earth span into the debris field
left by the comet and a meteor storm struck. Roads, buildings and
even a small town were annihilated. The meteors impacted heavily
around the dying mining town of Northfall, Minnesota. It was the
night of a mysterious double murder, the deed overshadowed by the
discovery that the burning remains of the rock contained an unknown
substance more precious than gold: the Ninth Metal. And with that
discovery, everything changed. Benjamin Percy is an award-winning
novelist, celebrated comic books writer and author of the Wolverine
podcast. The Ninth Metal is the first of a cycle of novels set in a
shared universe. Praise for The Ninth Metal: 'Whether you choose to
think of him as the Elmore Leonard of rural Minnesota or the
Stephen King of Science Fiction, Percy - with his extraordinary and
unrelenting eye - dishes up humanity like some kind of otherworldly
blue plate special, at once deeply familiar and wildly new'
Margaret Stohl, No. 1 New York Times Bestselling Author 'Take one
part dystopia, one part sci-fi, two parts apocalypse, then ride
them roughshod through a bleak and bloody western, and it still
wouldn't get close to what Ben Percy does here, which is blow open
the core of humanity's dark heart' Marlon James, Booker Prize
winning author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf 'The Ninth Metal
continues his streak of thrilling, incisive genre bending goodness.
It's a sci-fi novel, a crime novel and a super-hero novel, too.
Audacious and intelligent and exactly what I was dying to read'
Victor LaValle, author of The Changeling
