Exceptional military fantasy

The Coolest Fantasy Story You'll Read This Week
*i09*
Extremely strong debut, flintlock fantasy at its best ... there’s a
new military fiction cowboy in town and his name is Django.
*SF Signal*
I absolutely loved it. Wexler balances the actions of his very
human characters with just the right amount of imaginative "magic"
to keep me wanting more
*Taylor Anderson, National Bestselling Author of the Destroyerman
Series*
Wexler has produced something unusual in the fantasy line, with a
setting reminiscent of the early Victorian period, out on the
bleeding edge of Empire, a world of dust and bayonets and
muskets... and magic. The characters are fascinating and - all- of
them have secrets ... I read it at a gulp and look forward to
more
*S.M. Stirling, New York Times bestselling author of LORD OF
MOUNTAINS*
A spectacular epic
*Fantasy Book Critic*
...Django Wexler does what needs to be done in the opening volume
of a fantasy epic: he introduces the characters and sets the scene,
then successfully peels back the layers and raises the stakes. If
you enjoy military fantasy and/or flintlock fantasy, The Thousand
Names is definitely worth a look.
*Tor.com*
And such detail on the military life! ... From camp conditions to
battle tactics, to the lines of grand strategy, the authenticity of
the military fantasy is here in full flower. We get set piece
conflicts of all sorts, drills, the perils of trying to form a
fighting force from raw units, and believeable campaigns, even
given the genius of the commander. This is far and away the best
and strongest selling point of the book.
*SF Signal*
The Thousand Names is an assured debut from Django Wexler and a
must-read if you enjoy an action-packed, page-turner.
