Synopsis :<br />
A masked terrorist has brought London to its knees - there are<br />
bombs inside books, and nobody knows which ones. On the day<br />
of the launch of the first expedition to Mars, by giant cannon, he<br />
outdoes himself with an audacious attack. For young poet<br />
Orphan, trapped in the screaming audience, it seems his destiny<br />
is entwined with that of the shadowy terrorist, but how? Like a<br />
steam-powered take on V for Vendetta, rich with satire and<br />
slashed through with automatons, giant lizards, pirates, airships<br />
and wild adventure, The Bookman is the first of a series.<br />
Opinions about the book :<br />
"When I first caught sight of this book cover, I was immediately taken in."<br />
"Okay, now this is what all steampunk books should aspire to be! What<br />
Lavie Tidhar has done in The Bookman is simply marvelous. Most of the<br />
steampunk books I've read had too much going on or the steampunk<br />
element seemed tacked on. Not so in The Bookman."<br />
