    The Mechanical: The vastly imaginative tale of clockwork men, alchemy and revolution

    Ian Tregillis

    Formats & Editions

    My name is Jax.

    That is the name granted to me by my human masters.

    I am a slave.

    But I shall be free.

    A novel of extraordinary vision, both heart-breaking and thrilling, from one of the most original new voices in speculative fiction.

    Praise for The Mechanical

    • A confident and thrilling debut

    • A dynamite first novel

    • A white-knuckle plot, beautiful descriptions, and complex characters - Cory Doctorow on BITTER SEEDS

    • A damned entertaining novel. If Bitter Seeds is any indication of what's to come, then Tregillis will have a fertile writing career. Receives my highest recommendations

    • The one novel of 2010 I would recommend to anyone who believes that speculative fiction cannot compete with "literary" novels

    • A major new talent. - GEORGE R. R. MARTIN

    • Exciting and intense - Publishers Weekly

    • Eloquent and utterly compelling - Kirkus

    Ian Tregillis

    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.
