Info

of the magic users (Actives) have significant power. Jake Sullivan is an Active who was part of a special team of Actives who helped win the World War against the Kaiser’s army of zombies, but he later ended up in prison for protecting a young black magic-user from an angry white mob. To get out of prison, he agrees to help J. Edgar Hoover catch magical murderers; when Hoover lies to him too much, Sullivan goes on the run. Meanwhile, the most powerful magic user in the world (the Chairman) is in charge of Japan’s war effort (including battleship dirigibles), and Sullivan is recruited to join a secret society (led by General Black Jack Pershing) that is convinced the Japanese will soon attack the U.S. with a magical weapon developed by Nikola Tesla. It isn’t quite as strong on humor as the Monster Hunter series, but is at least as action-packed. Larry manages to work in all those plot elements he listed above, and makes it work. It’s very hard to put down. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read by Elizabeth Bear, but I recently made the mistake of picking up Chill ($7.99) without realizing that it was the middle book of a trilogy. I was soon so caught up in the story of a generation ship filled with nano technology that I couldn’t force myself to put it down long enough to read Dust ($7.99), the first of the series. By the time I finished Chill, we had run out of Dust and I’m impatiently waiting for our restock order to arrive. The good news is that the
final book of the trilogy, Grail ($7.99) will be arriving late in February.
