Crystal Rain is the much-anticipated debut novel by Tobias S. Buckell, one of research fiction's newest & most promising talents. Long ago, so the tales say, the old-fathers emerged to Nanagada via a worm's opening in the sky. Buying new world to call their own, they helped bring with them a wealthy mélange of ethnicities, religions, and dialects from a far-off world called Globe. Mighty were the old-fathers, with the energy to shape the globe to their liking - but that was many decades ago, and that which was once known has long been lost. Steamboats and gas-filled blimps now traverse the planet, where people once viewed up to see great metallic places in the sky. Like his world, John deBrun has forgotten more than he remembers. Twenty-seven years back, he washed up onto the shoreline of Nanagada with no memory of his recent. Although he has made a new life for himself on the list of peaceful islanders, his heart remains haunted by unanswered questions about his own identity. These mysteries undertake new urgency when the fearsome Azteca surprise over the Wicked High Mountains searching for fresh blood vessels and hearts to nourish their cruel, inhuman gods. Nanagada's only expectation lies in a mythical artifact, the Ma Wi Jung, said to be hidden anywhere in the iced north. And only John deBrun has learned the device's secrets, even if he can't bear in mind why or how!
