But as the once-in-two centuries cataclysm approaches, an even greater catastrophe threatens this dark and dangerous planet of tale-spinners, conjurers, and shapechangers. For Gregorian has come, a genius renegade scientist and bush wizard. With magic and forbidden technology, he plans to remake the rotting dying world in his own evil image -- and to force whom or whatever remains on its diminishing surface toward a terrifying, astonishing confrontation with death and transcendence.</P> 236257 1991 Stations of the Tide total:92|5:36|4:33|3:14|2:8|1:1| 92 371 173 13 4 0 false false Tue Dec 16 11:25:12 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 10 08:03:03 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 16 11:25:12 -0800 2008 more...]]> 1 4 false false Fri Oct 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 15:29:36 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 15:34:06 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Mar 26 00:23:35 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 26 01:55:02 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Fri Apr 24 17:09:18 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 29 12:39:04 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Aug 24 15:54:26 -0700 2007 Thu Dec 20 11:31:17 -0800 2007 more...]]> 0 0 false false Tue Sep 22 21:50:30 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 21:50:50 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Oct 06 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 07 08:17:55 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 15 08:02:16 -0700 2008 Dragons of Babel, less emotionally wrenching than The Iron Dragon's Daughter, but just as stuffed with innovation and imagination as all of Swanwick's work.
