About this Item
Description:
fine uncorrected TRADE PAPERBACK proof copy 1st edition. æWhen reality is written on skin, only blood will do as inkÆ -- the astonishing sequel to his groundbreaking literary fantasy Vellum. Seller Inventory # FF15.075
Synopsis:
It's twenty years since the Evenfall swept across the Vellum and the bitmites took reality apart, twenty years since Phreedom Messenger disappeared into the wilderness and Seamus Finnan was imprisoned in his own past. Twenty years of chaos but the Dukes, the remnants of the Covenant, still cling to power in their enclaves of order in the bitmite-devastated wilderness . . . in their Havens in the Hinter.
Across the folds of time and space, though, rogues and rebels are rising up against the Empire. From a mediaeval fortress where wandering mummers stage a Harlequin play based on Euripides’s The Bacchae and performed in the Cant … to Kentigern where another Harlequin, Jack Flash, wreaks havoc on a fascist state that thought him dead. From a 1939 Paris where Jack Carter and Seamus Finnan, heroes of the International Brigades, seek to rewrite history -- to a 1929 Berlin where a very different Jack seeks to save the world from a history he has helped make real. Locked in an eternal battle of chaos and order, it seems everyone must play their part now, as rebel or tyrant, hero or villain.
`It is, quite simply, stunning and the most powerful debut novel I’ve read since Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell ’ -- Forbidden Planet International

Cover Art: Christopher Gibbs (illustrator). 1st Edition. © 2007: 2nd in the 'Book Of All Hours' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: It's twenty years since the Evenfall swept across the Vellum. Twenty years since Phreedom Messenger disappeared into the wilderness and Seamus Finnan got imprisoned in his own past. Twenty years of chaos have intervened but the Dukes, those remnants of the Covenant, still cling to power in their enclaves of order amid this bitmite-devastated wilderness. Yet, across the folds of time and space, rogues and rebels are now rising up against the Empire. From a medieval fortress where wandering mummers stage a harlequin play - to Kentigern where another harlequin, Jack Flash, wreaks havoc on a fascist state that thought him dead. From a 1939 Paris where Jack Carter and Seamus Finnan, heroes of the International Brigades, seek to rewrite history - to a 1929 Berlin where a very different Jack seeks to save the world from a history he himself has helped make real. Locked in this eternal battle of chaos and order, it seems everyone must play their part now, whether as rebel or tyrant, hero or villain. And it is Guy Reynard, king of thieves, thief of lives, who links them all. He is the man who stole the Book of All Hours and then walked across eternity with it, keeper of its secrets, the interpreter of its sacred script. But perhaps it's time to throw away a script written on the skin of angels. After all. When reality is written on skin, only blood will do as ink:- Review(s): Praise for 'Vellum': "Produces a creepy tingle in the spine. A novel of incredible ambition" - Glasgow Herald / "Overwhelming in its complexity, sumptuous in its recitation, this is a truly monumental work" - Good Book Guide / "Stretches the imagination and challenges perspective. A relentless look at the world around and within us. An exciting and original work" - South China Morning Post / "Not only pure literary pleasure, 'Vellum' is opinionated and resonates strongly with today's world events. It's a thrill ride for the imagination and never fails to challenge the reader" - Cape Times / "A mind-blowing read that's genuinely unlike anything you've ever read before. The imaginary worlds that he dreams up are stunning. 'Vellum' has expanded fantasy's limits like nothing published in years" - SFX / "The opening gambit in the career of a mind-blowing colossal talent whose impact will be felt for decades" - Jeff VanderMeer:- (original cost £17.99).
