Description:
"Pack your bags and go home; the superhero genre is now completed... if John le Carre wrote a superhero novel about the Cold War, it might be this good." --Charles Stross, author of Neptune's Brood: A Space Opera "A stunning masterpiece." -- The Independent "Like Watchmen on crack." -- IO9 "Tidhar synthesises the geeky and the political in a vision of world events that breaks new superhero ground ..." -- The Guardian "He's dealing with the grandest schemes on the largest of backdrops in time and place... no longer an emerging writer, but a master." -- British Fantasy Society "It's the X-Men as written by John le Carr ... A love story and meditation on heroism, this is an elegiac espionage adventure that demands a second reading." -- Metro (UK) "The sort of thing Quentin Tarantino did as bloody wish-fulfillment in Inglourious Basterds, multiplied by several orders of magnitude." -- Locus
