From the acclaimed author of The Gone-Away World - an adventure story, a war story, and a love story, all wound into one brilliant narrative that runs like clockwork.
Nick Harkaway is the author of The Gone-Away World and Angelmaker, and of an even better and more exciting novel whose name will probably end up being Tigerman, or possibly Man, Island, Boy. Contrary to what you may have heard, the title really is the hard part. When he's not writing, he spends his time being the husband of a brilliant lawyer and the dad of two small children who are secretly bent on world domination. He likes Italian red wine and lives in a bit of London where the taxis still have a horse at the pointy end.
Angelmaker is another cracking book from Nick Harkaway. It’s a mix
of sci-fi, steampunk, adventure and romance and the mix of genres
work really well together … Harkaway’s Angelmaker is a brilliant
piece of escapism. It’s a wonderful example of how an irreverent
approach to much loved genres can lead to a truly great story.

Splendid cornucopia of a novel
*The Big Issue (Wales)*
Nick Harkaway's joyfully reckless invention is as intricate as
clockwork ... Edie has a tangled history, the uncovering of which
is one of the chief pleasures of Nick Harkaway's novel ... is one
of the most enjoyable books I've read in ages ... brilliantly
entertaining, and the last hundred pages are pure, unhinged
delight. What a splendid ride.
*Guardian*

Harkaway: bonkers, brilliant and hilarious … clever and entirely
fantastic.
