The Tales of Catt & Fisher: The Art of the Steal: After the War
Editat de Justina Robson Autor Adrian Tchaikovsky, Freda Warrington, Juliet E. McKenna, K T Daviesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 dec 2020
Scholars, shopkeepers, collectors… aficionados. Obtainers of rare antiquities; relic hunters who can’t resist a lead, even when it takes them into terrible danger. There’s always an opportunity to be found amid the confusion, in the wake of the terrible Kinslayer War. There’s always a deal to be done, a tomb to open, a precious thing to… obtain.
From encounters with the monstrous Vathesk to exploring new worlds; from wielding great power to do great good, to unearthing dark things best left lost. If you need the experts, if you can find your way to their Cherivell shop, maybe you can hire Doctors Catt and Fisher.
“Robson writes a tense, fast-paced quest adventure... I hope to see more like it.” Liz Bourke
