Success of five Hugo Accolades, Michael Swanwick can be an icon within the fantasy community. In The Dragons of Babel he effortlessly blends mysterious elements and post-industrial atmosphere to create a unique and unforgettable tale. When a mechanised war dragon crash lands in his village and declares itself king, Will le Fey is pressured to become its lieutenant. Although he eventually breaks his enslavement, Will is banished by the townspeople, who no more trust him. While he travels, he befriends a superhuman con designer and an immortal gal with no memory. So when the trio winds up in the incredible Faerie metropolis of Babel, Will becomes a champ to the tunnel dwellers below the town. In a starred review, Web publishers Weekly praises this "heady literary stew" and identifies it as "modern fantasy at its finest." Narrator Dan Butler's reading catches the full scope of Swanwick's amazing epic.
