Professor Oladel Adewole has lost tenure, and the beloved,
much-younger sister he's raised has died. With no reason to stay,
he leaves his homeland for the University of Eisenstadt. One thing
makes his new life bearable: the island floating a mile above the
city, his all-consuming interest for years.
When a brilliant engineer makes it to the island in her new
invention, the government sends Adewole up with its first survey
team. The expedition finds civilization, and Adewole finds a
powerful, forbidden fusion of magic and metal called the Machine
God.
The government wants it. So does a sociopath bent on ruling
Eisenstadt. But when Adewole discovers who the mechanical creature
is--and what it can do--he risks his heart and his life to protect
the Machine God from the world, and the world from the Machine God.
Raves and a 4.2 average on Goodreads
"Loved this book. I expected a fairly light weight fantasy/sci
story, with a few rough edges. But this is a wonderful polished
story. The world thats been created is detailed and believable:
just enough extra background to suck you in "
"Ms. Miranda packed a whole lot into just a few pages -- wry and
pointed commentary on academic politics and the tensions between
pure and applied research, the ethical implications of the quest
for knowledge for its own sake, the public and private morality of
holders of political and academic power, and yes, whether or not
someone at some point actually managed to build a mecha so big and
powerful that it could legitimately be referred to as a Machine
God."
"Meilin Miranda writes a fascinating story about a person's search
for the greater good. The Machine God is a story that I enjoyed
thoroughly. I would recommend this story heartily for those wanting
a well-nuanced storyline."-- Mihir Wanchu, Fantasy Book Critic blog
