Salvage and Demolition

For those of you who have never tried reading Tim Powers you could pick a worse place to start than this story.
It's just a short work, about 21,000 words. And because of that, it's less complex and intricate than his longer books, but I think it gives a good taste of his style.
If you'd rather jump in with both feet and read some of his best stuff, you might want to try Declare or Last Call instead. They're brilliant works that I've been meaning to re-read for some time.
But as I've said, if you're looking for a short taste of his style, this brief novella is a good place to start.

Hmm, I have never tried Tim Powers, and I was planning to start with The Stress of Her Regard, but since you seem to know his books, I guess I'll try first those two you mentioned.

The Stress of Her Regard is by no means a bad place to start, either. Read all the Tim Powers!
I love all his books they never disappoint.
I just bought this one, because Mr. Rothfuss gives some of the best reading advice ever.
It costs a fortune I the UK I'll have to wait till the is a cheaper print :(
Ok. I will start with Declare next week.
I've had "The Anubis Gates" on my book pile for a long time. Might be time to push it up the list (or try some of his other stuff).
I'm actually reading "Declare" right now. Fantastic.
Patrick, what is the book about and what is the genre of the book???
You can get the ebook version as part of the humble subterranean bundle going on right now!

This was the first book from the recent Humble Bundle I read, and I really enjoyed it! Will be finding his other stuff asap
The Stress of Her Regard is my favorite but Anubis Gates of Drawing of the Dark are also first rate stories.
