Items related to The Invisible Library: 1 (Invisible Library Novel)
Collecting books can be a dangerous prospect in this fun, time-traveling, fantasy adventure--the first in the Invisible Library series!
One thing any Librarian will tell you: the truth is much stranger than fiction... Irene is a professional spy for the mysterious Library, a shadowy organization that collects important works of fiction from all of the different realities. Most recently, she and her enigmatic assistant Kai have been sent to an alternative London. Their mission: Retrieve a particularly dangerous book. The problem: By the time they arrive, it's already been stolen. London's underground factions are prepared to fight to the death to find the tome before Irene and Kai do, a problem compounded by the fact that this world is chaos-infested--the laws of nature bent to allow supernatural creatures and unpredictable magic to run rampant. To make matters worse, Kai is hiding something--secrets that could be just as volatile as the chaos-filled world itself. Now Irene is caught in a puzzling web of deadly danger, conflicting clues, and sinister secret societies. And failure is not an option--because it isn't just Irene's reputation at stake, it's the nature of reality itself... FEATURING BONUS MATERIAL: including an interview with the author, a legend from the Library, and more!

Review:
Praise for The Invisible Library "Cogman writes with a vivacity and wittiness that breathes new life into the genre....Reminiscent of the works of Diana Wynne Jones and Neil Gaiman, Cogman's novel is a true treat to read."--Publishers Weekly "Bibliophiles will go wild for this engaging debut, as Cogman hits all the high notes for enjoyable fantasy. Intriguing characters and fast-paced action are wrapped up in a spellbinding, well-built world."--Library Journal "Satisfyingly complex...[This] is a book in which to wallow."--The Guardian (UK) "Such clever, creepy, elaborate worldbuilding and snarky, sexy-smart characters!"--N.K. Jemisin, author of The Fifth Season
"A stunning work of art that has me absolutely begging for more."--Fantasy Book Review "Highly entertaining...It reminded me a lot of Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series."--The Book Plank "A dazzling bibliophilic debut."--Charles Stross, Hugo award-winning author of the Laundry Files
