Críticas

"An amazing, fast-paced story in a fantasy world poised dangerously on the edge of quantum probability, a world where angels war with reality."--Peter F. Hamilton on Wolfhound Century

"I absolutely loved Wolfhound Century. Higgins's world is a truly original creation, Russian cosmos and Slavic mythology filtered through steampunk and le Carre. What really captured me was his beautiful style and language: his metaphors and associations flow smoothly like the waters of the Mir, like Lom without his angel stone, make you see the world in a new way."--Hannu Rajaniemi on Wolfhound Century

"A dark new Soviet alternate history with angels...an alternate history that will grab you by the lapels and snap you to attention."--i09.com on Wolfhound Century

"[Wolfhound Century] captures its world with absolute conviction."--SciFi Magazine on Wolfhound Century

"A brilliant exploitation of the power of fantasy: the tender green soul of Russian history set free for uncanny battle with its grey, gunmetal carapace."--Francis Spufford on Wolfhound Century

"Like vintage Mieville or Vandermeer, but with all the violent narrative thriller drive of Fleming at his edgiest. I fell into Wolfhound Century and devoured it in three days flat. Peter Higgins is a great discovery, a gifted writer with a route map to some fascinating new dark corners of the imagination, and a fine addition to the contemporary fantasy canon."--Richard Morgan on Wolfhound Century

"Sentient water, censored artists, mechanical constructs, old-fashioned detective work, and the secret police are all woven together in this rich and fascinating tapestry."--Publishers Weekly on Wolfhound Century

Reseña del editor

Collected for the first time in an omnibus edition, the internationally acclaimed Wolfhound Century trilogy is a perfect blend of fantasy, myth, science fiction and political thriller.
Higgins's visionary fantasy trilogy describes a city gripped by fear, controlled by a totalitarian state reminiscent of Stalinist Russia. Worn down by an endless war, the city of Mirgorod is a murky world of secret police and revolutionaries, cabaret clubs and doomed artists - as well as golems, giants, and a vast, menacing Angel.

Read the complete story of investigator Vissarion Lom in this omnibus edition containing all three books in the trilogy: Wolfhound Century, Truth and Fear, and Radiant State.
