Kevin Hearne hugs trees, pets doggies, and rocks out to heavy metal. He also thinks tacos are a pretty nifty idea. He is the author of A Plague of Giants and the New York Times bestselling series The Iron Druid Chronicles.
Praise for The Iron Druid Chronicles
“[Kevin] Hearne is a terrific storyteller with a great snarky wit.
. . . Neil Gaiman’s American Gods meets Jim Butcher’s Harry
Dresden.”—SFFWorld
“[The Iron Druid books] are clever, fast-paced and a good
escape.”—Boing Boing
“Hearne understands the two main necessities of good fantasy
stories: for all the wisecracks and action, he never loses sight of
delivering a sense of wonder to his readers, and he understands
that magic use always comes with a price. Highly recommended.”—The
Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction
“Superb . . . plenty of quips and zap-pow-bang
fighting.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Celtic mythology and an ancient Druid with modern attitude mix it
up in the Arizona desert in this witty new fantasy series.”—Kelly
Meding, author of Chimera
“[Atticus is] a strong modern hero with a long history and the wit
to survive in the twenty-first century. . . . A snappy narrative
voice . . . a savvy urban fantasy adventure.”—Library Journal
“A page-turning and often laugh-out-loud funny caper through a mix
of the modern and the mythic.”—Ari Marmell, author of The Warlord’s
Legacy
“Outrageously fun.”—The Plain Dealer
“Kevin Hearne breathes new life into old myths, creating a world
both eerily familiar and startlingly original.”—Nicole
Peeler, author of Tempest Rising
Hearne's follow-up to Hounded (first of the "Iron Druid Chronicles") finds Atticus O'Sullivan, the last druid-age roughly 2000 years old-trying to make peace with the local coven of witches while destroying a very dangerous coven new to town. Add invading Bacchants and Celtic goddesses up to no good, and Atticus is doing everything but having the relaxing life he longs for. A terrific entry in the series, with laugh-out-loud moments and a fast-paced story. Luke Daniels does an amazing job voicing the various characters but by far does the best characterization with Oberon, Atticus's Irish wolfhound who mentally communicates with the druid. Highly recommended for fans of Kim Harrison or Jim Butcher's "Dresden Files."-Donna Bachowski, Orange Cty. Lib. Syst., Orlando, FL (c) Copyright 2011.
