Publisher Summary
 

Winner of five Hugo Awards, Michael Swanwick is an icon within the fantasy community. In The Dragons of Babel he effortlessly blends magical elements and post-industrial atmosphere to craft a unique and unforgettable tale.

When a mechanical war dragon crash lands in his village and declares itself king, Will le Fey is forced to become its lieutenant. Although he eventually breaks his enslavement, Will is banished by the townspeople, who no longer trust him. While he travels, he befriends a superhuman con artist and an immortal girl with no memory. And when the trio winds up in the extraordinary Faerie metropolis of Babel, Will becomes a champion to the tunnel dwellers below the city.

In a starred review, Publishers Weekly praises this heady literary stew and describes it as modern fantasy at its finest. Narrator Dan Butler's reading captures the full scope of Swanwick's astonishing epic.

Review by Eden from The United States | 2/26/2011

This book is impressive all the way through, but the ending is truly stunning. The convoluted plot is beautifully finished in a surprisingly satisfying manner.

Review by Ben from Lower Sackville, NS, Canada | 1/20/2011

A great book, very different from what you would expect in a fantasy (or even in a bastardized fantasy story with streaks of steampunk and science fiction) Some neat twists and turns all throughout. Very recommended.
