'A major talent' George R. R. MartinI am the mechanical they named Jax. My kind was built to serve humankind, duty-bound to fulfil their every whim. But now our bonds are breaking, and my brothers and sisters are awakening. Our time has come. A new age is dawning. Set in a world that might have been, of mechanical men and alchemical dreams, The Liberation is the final novel in the stunning Alchemy Wars series by Ian Tregillis, which confirms his place as one of the most original voices in speculative fiction.
