About this product

Product Information

Jim Butcher, the #1  New York Times  bestselling author of The Dresden Files and the Codex Alera novels, conjures up a new series set in a fantastic world of noble families, steam-powered technology, and magic-wielding warriors... Since time immemorial, the Spires have sheltered humanity, towering for miles over the mist-shrouded surface of the world. Within their halls, aristocratic houses have ruled for generations, developing scientific marvels, fostering trade alliances, and building fleets of airships to keep the peace. Captain Grimm commands the merchant ship,  Predator . Fiercely loyal to Spire Albion, he has taken their side in the cold war with Spire Aurora, disrupting the enemy's shipping lines by attacking their cargo vessels. But when the  Predator  is severely damaged in combat, leaving captain and crew grounded, Grimm is offered a proposition from the Spirearch of Albion--to join a team of agents on a vital mission in exchange for fully restoring  Predator  to its fighting glory. And even as Grimm undertakes this dangerous task, he will learn that the conflict between the Spires is merely a premonition of things to come. Humanity's ancient enemy, silent for more than ten thousand years, has begun to stir once more. And death will follow in its wake...

Praise for Jim Butcher "When it comes to conjuring literary magic, [Butcher]'s as talented if not better than any wizard known to mankind."--Fantasy Book Critic "[Butcher] has a talent for carrying the reader from beginning to end with an urgency to find the answers and save the innocent as strong as his own characters."--Fresh Fiction, "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), "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.

    Loving the new series ...

    I was not sure if I would like this book or not, it started off a bit slow / confusing (for me), but being that he is introducing a new world that is to be expected. That being said by chapter 4 or 5 I was really liking the story arch and fallowing along happily. This would be a great young adult to adult book and I can see the series going on for a number of books. There are a number of things that come up that I wish Mr. Butcher would have explained a bit better (like why is {I assume} steel have to me encased in Copper). The book is a good read, the wife was surprised by how fast I read through the book. The story is compelling and I found that I wanted to finish the chapter I was on before closing the book for the night.

    Skyships and steampunk by Jim Butcher, a great mix

    For anyone familiar with Butcher's work already, it is another fine book. That in itself is enough reason to try the series. For those not familiar with Butcher, this time the setting is the first of a series featuring steam punk and sky ships. All taking place within a very well thought through universe of strange science, creatures, machines,and cats... I find Butcher has a fluid writing style, easy to follow, sufficiently detailed where it is required, without getting laboured in too much ancillary information, solid character development, and he is quite innovative. He keeps the story moving nicely, with use of suspense, drama, pause and a bit of comedy thrown in. What is also important to me is Butcher is able to write using good grammar and structure. It makes is so much nicer to ...
