The Rising by Ian Tregillis
'A major talent' George R. R. Martin They called me Jax. That was the name given by those who built me and enslaved me. But a miracle has happened, and now my bonds are broken. Now I must flee - because a rogue mechanical is a very dangerous thing. But I will not run forever. Set in a world that might have been, of mechanical men and alchemical dreams, The Uprising is the second novel in the Alchemy Wars - the stunning series by Ian Tregillis that confirms his place as one of the most original voices in speculative fiction. Praise for Ian Tregillis: 'Addictively brilliant' io9 'Confident and thrilling' SFX 'Exciting and intense' Publishers Weekly 'Eloquent and utterly compelling' Kirkus 'A white-knuckle plot, beautiful descriptions, and complex characters' Cory Doctorow The Alchemy Wars The Mechanical The Rising The Liberation Also by Ian Tregillis: The Milkweed Triptych Bitter Seeds The Coldest War Necessary Evil
Thrilling action scenes and breakneck pacing will leave readers desperate for the next volume * Library Journal *
A vivid alternate history tale filled with action sequences, fascinating characters, and great worldbuilding. . Engrossing, with plenty of mid-story twists, and it's well worth the ride. * Publishers Weekly *
The chases, the battles, the brutal violence, and the scheming are nonstop. As always, Tregillis offers richly textured and genuinely likable personalities with shades-of-gray morality . . . Middle volumes are always tricky; they can often read as an obstacle to overcome on the way to the forgone conclusion of the third installment. Tregillis commendably avoids this trap, deepening his story and keeping it moving along toward an unknown horizon. Part 3 can't come too soon. * Kirkus *

Ian Tregillis is the son of a bearded mountebank and a discredited tarot card reader. He was born and raised in Minnesota, where his parents had landed after fleeing the wrath of a Flemish prince. (The full story, he's told, involves a Dutch tramp steamer and a stolen horse.) Nowadays he lives in New Mexico, where he consorts with writers, scientists and other unsavoury types.
