Resurrection Engines is an anthology of Steampunk and Alternate
Timeline 'retellings' and 'reimagining's' of classic fiction tales
(Edgar Allen Poe, Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythology, Moby Dick, Charles
Dickens, Swift's Gulliver's Travels, etc) from some of today's
finest Steampunk writers.
Four new tales of Doctors Catt and Fisher... Scholars, shopkeepers,
collectors... aficionados. Obtainers of rare antiquities; relic
hunters who can't resist a lead, even when it takes them into
terrible danger. There's always an opportunity to be found amid the
confusion, in the wake of the terrible Kinslayer War. There's
always a deal to be done, a tomb to open, a precious thing to...
obtain. From encounters with the monstrous Vathesk to exploring new
worlds; from wielding great power to do great good, to unearthing
dark things best left lost. If you need the experts, if you can
find your way to their Cherivell shop, maybe you can hire Doctors
Catt and Fisher. "Robson writes a tense, fast-paced quest
adventure... I hope to see more like it." Liz Bourke "If you're
looking for something that celebrates the genre, while working to
interrogate and question how that genre works, look no further than
Redemption's Blade." Martin Cahill, Tor.com
The Cleaving is an Arthurian retelling that follows the tangled
stories of four women: Nimue, Ygraine, Morgana, and Guinevere, as
they fight to control their own destinies amid the wars and
rivalries that will determine the destiny of Britain. The legendary
epics of King Arthur and Camelot don't tell the whole story.
Chroniclers say Arthur's mother Ygraine married the man that killed
her husband. They say that Arthur's half-sister Morgana turned to
dark magic to defy him and Merlin. They say that the enchantress
Nimue challenged Merlin and used her magic to outwit him. And that
Arthur's marriage to Guinevere ended in adultery, rebellion and
bloodshed. So why did these women chose such dangerous paths? As
warfare and rivalries constantly challenge the king, Arthur and
Merlin believe these women are destined to serve Camelot by doing
as they are told. But men forget that women talk. Ygraine, Nimue,
Morgana and Guinevere become friends and allies while the decisions
that shape their lives are taken out of their hands. This is their
untold story. Now these women have a voice. Juliet McKenna is an
expert on medieval history and warfare and brings this expertise as
well as her skills as a fantasy writer to this epic standalone
novel.
