Fiendish Schemes
ForFiendish Schemes:“InFiendish Schemes, K. W. Jeter returns to the Steampunk world he left twenty-five years ago with guns blazing—very strange guns, to be sure.  To my mind this is Jeter’s best book, with more than enough cool Steampunk ingredients to make me jealous.  I wish I could simply steal half a dozen and put them into my pocket for later use, but I’ll have to be satisfied with merely reading—and rereading—the book. You should too.”—James P. Blaylock, author of the Langdon St. Ives novels “Gorgeous grotesquerie -- Fellini by way of Tim Burton!” — Tim Powers, author ofHide Me Among the Graves“Welcome to K.W. Jeter's London, a London where technology is out of control and ruled by the upper class. Part commentary for the 21st century, part journey of redemption (but entirely steampunk), Fiendish Schemes takes us into the next chapter of George Dower's presently dismal life until an unwanted, unwelcome associate from his past (literally) resurfaces and sets him on a dangerous plot that could manipulate the financial future of the world, and—in the process—net him a bob or two. Jeter is a modern Arthur Conan Doyle as his sequel toInfernal Devices reads as a Sherlock Holmes adventure. Each turn of the page unfolds the mystery; and the deeper you descend with Dower, the deeper you are drawn into Jeter's work.”— Tee Morris, author of The Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences seriesForInfernal Devices:“Jeter is an exhilarating writer who always seems to have another rabbit to pull out of his hat.” —New York Times Book Review onInfernal Devices“A well-written novel that should be added to any collection. If you have patrons with an interest in steampunk, this is essential.” —Library Journal“This is the real thing–a mad inventor, curious coins, murky London alleys and windblown Scottish Isles. . .  A wild and extravagant plot that turns up new mysteries with each succeeding page” —James P. Blaylock, World Fantasy Award winning author“Goddamn, what a book. This is like H.G. Wells with H.P. Lovecraft’s descriptions of darkness run through the mind of Sherlock Holmes writer Arthur Conan Doyle. It’s about as screwy as it gets, complete steampunkery with a duo who are scamming their way across the land through an entirely different set of devices. Must-read . . . Pure joy. I couldn’t set it down.” —SFBook.com“A delicious—and quite insane—mad romp through the gas-lit streets of London. Absolute must-read!” —SF Revu“At times Jeter amd quote insane romp through the gas-lit streets of London. Absolute must-read!” —Bearcave.com
