Notă biografică
Ian
Tregillis
is
the
son
of
a
bearded
mountebank
and
a
discredited
tarot
card
reader.
He
was
born
and
raised
in
Minnesota,
where
his
parents
had
landed
after
fleeing
the
wrath
of
a
Flemish
prince.
(The
full
story,
he's
told,
involves
a
Dutch
tramp
steamer
and
a
stolen
horse.)
Nowadays
he
lives
in
New
Mexico,
where
he
consorts
with
writers,
scientists
and
other
unsavoury
types.
Recenzii
"There
are
a
number
of
marvelous
action
scenes,
hallucinogenic
in
their
over-the-top
big-screen
violence,
but
the
real
attraction
here
is
Tregilli's
narrative
ruthlessness,
which
manifest
as
willingness
to
take
his
character
to
the
brink
of
hell...and
then,
rather
than
yank
them
back
at
the
last
second,
push
them
in."—SciFi

"A major talent."—George R.R. Martin on Bitter Seeds

"The first thing readers will say after finishing this splendid book is: 'Wow.' The second thing will probably be: 'When can I read the next one?'"—Booklist on The Mechanical
"Tregillis presents a fascinating look at the nature of free will and the existence of the soul, wrapped up in an absolutely thrilling adventure story. Jax is an amazing, sympathetic character, and the world of the clockmakers and their slaves is so absorbing that readers will be dying for the next entry in this new series."—Library Journal on The Mechanical
