A martial arts enthusiast whose resume includes a long list of skills rendered obsolete at least two hundred years ago, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher turned to writing as a career because anything else probably would have driven him insane. He lives mostly inside his own head so that he can write down the conversation of his imaginary friends, but his head can generally be found in Independence, Missouri. Jim is the author of the Dresden Files, the Codex Alera novels, and the Cinder Spires series, which began with The Aeronaut's Windlass.
"So Jim Butcher is writing futuristic dystopian steampunk? You had
me at Jim Butcher, actually. But the rest is cool too....Great
action scenes, a fascinating world, and characters of a sort I've
never seen before. Yup. This is everything I've come to expect from
Jim Butcher, but in a delightful new flavor."--#1 New York Times
bestselling author Patrick Rothfuss "Wow. Just wow. Beware fellow
readers, herein lies adventure that will keep you from food or
rest...It is as if Jules Verne, H. Rider Haggard, Patrick O'Brien
and...well, Jim Butcher all got together and wrote a book.
Steampunk done very, very right. Butcher proves yet again that he
is an amazing storyteller."--#1 New York Times bestselling author
Patricia Briggs "This is Jim Butcher at his best, drawing a fully
realized, richly detailed, and downright fun literary world where
fearless aeronauts ride the aether, brilliant wizards struggle with
doorknobs, and a thirty-pound feline warrior keeps a pet human
named Little Mouse. It's steampunk meets magic with a dose of
sci-fi for seasoning. Buy it and read it. You'll be glad you
did."--New York Times bestselling author David Weber "Butcher opens
the imaginative Cinder Spires series with this sweeping fantastical
epic...[It's] a fascinating, adventurous, and intricate story.
Butcher brings a fresh and exciting perspective to secondary-world
steampunk, giving the reader a thrilling ride."--Publishers Weekly
(starred review) "Butcher, the bestselling author of the Dresden
Files, now launches the Cinder Spires, a new epic fantasy,
steampunk hybrid series that has shades of both Naomi Novik and
Cherie Priest...With shifting points of view, short chapters,
fast-paced action, and awesome battle scenes, the large cast of
characters, elaborate world building, and intricate plot are
revealed quickly and realized fully. It all reminds readers of when
they first fell for Harry Dresden."--Booklist (starred review)
"[Butcher] blends familiar steampunk and fantasy elements
(airships, wizardry, and heroes from a monarch's guard) in a fresh
and wonderful way that results in a fantastic ride. This should
well satisfy fans of fantasy, sf, or their stepchild
steampunk."--Library Journal (starred review)
