Hour of Need
Review
"charmingly old-fashioned...gradually improves and deepens as it goes on." —Fantasy Literature
"Michael Pryor is the king of steampunk for teens." —Visual Bookshelf
"Reminiscent at times of Sherlock Holmes, James Bond, and even P. G. Wodehouse, this is a fun read for all ages." —Booklist on Heart of Gold
"Readers with some snow on the roof will fondly embrace the madcap antics and British “I say, old Chap” dialog, as it is totally reminiscent of the adventures of P.G. Wodehouse’s My Man Jeeves." —VOYA on Heart of Gold
"Clever dialogue and a fully realized history of the fictional kingdom set the stage for at least five more titles in the Australian Laws of Magic series." —Booklist Online on Blaze of Glory
Product Description
In the earth-shattering final book of the Laws of Magic series, Aubrey goes deep into the lair of his enemy in an attempt to save the world
Aubrey Fitzwilliam, renegade and traitor. Instead of clearing his name in Albion, Aubrey has chosen to pursue his enemy, Dr. Mordecai Tremaine, deep into the heart of enemy territory. What he uncovers in Dr. Tremaine's stronghold promises to change the course of the war and the future of humanity itself. A hideous combination of electrical science, golem manufacturing, and soul-shattering magic is bringing the world far closer to the edge of the abyss than anyone apart from Aubrey realizes. Alone, reviled, and hunted, this is Aubrey's last chance to save the world—for if he doesn't there might not be a world left to save.
