    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt; A fantasy masterpiece from a five-time Hugo Award winner!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A war-dragon of Babel crashes in the idyllic fields of a post-industrialized Faerie and, dragging himself into the nearest village, declares himself king and makes young Will his lieutenant.  Nightly, he crawls inside the young fey's brain to get a measure of what his subjects think. Forced out of his village, Will travels with female centaur soldiers, witnesses the violent clash of giants, and acquires a surrogate daughter, Esme, who has no knowledge of the past and may be immortal.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Evacuated to the Tower of Babel -- infinitely high, infinitely vulgar, very much like New York City -- Will meets the confidence trickster Nat Whilk. Inside the Dread Tower, Will becomes a hero to the homeless living in the tunnels under the city, rises as an underling to a politician, and meets his one true love&#8211;a high-elven woman he dare not aspire to. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You've heard of hard SF: This is hard fantasy from a master of the form.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>
