Waiting on Wednesday (53): Infernal Devices

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


Infernal DevicesInfernal Devices by K.W. Jeter due out April 26, 2011 from Angry Robot.

Book Description
HE INHERITED A WATCHMAKER'S STORE - AND A WHOLE HEAP OF TROUBLE. But idle sometime-musician George has little talent for clockwork. And when a shadowy figure tries to steal an old device from the premises, George finds himself embroiled in a mystery of time travel, music and sexual intrigue. A genuine lost classic, a steampunk original whose time has come.

His many original novels range between dark noir-horror and visionary science fiction. He has also written several authorized sequels to Blade Runner (aka Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep). The author lives in Las Vegas, NV.
