Review Praise for The Iron Druid Chronicles"[Kevin] Hearne is a terrific storyteller with a great snarky wit. . . . Neil Gaimans American Gods meets Jim Butchers Harry Dresden."—SFFWorld"[The Iron Druid books] are clever, fast-paced and a good escape."—Boing Boing"Hearne understands the two main necessities of good fantasy stories: for all the wisecracks and action, he never loses sight of delivering a sense of wonder to his readers, and he understands that magic use always comes with a price. Highly recommended."—The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction"Superb . . . plenty of quips and zap-pow-bang fighting."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)"Celtic mythology and an ancient Druid with modern attitude mix it up in the Arizona desert in this witty new fantasy series."—Kelly Meding, author of Chimera"[Atticus is] a strong modern hero with a long history and the wit to survive in the twenty-first century. . . . A snappy narrative voice . . . a savvy urban fantasy adventure."—Library Journal"A page-turning and often laugh-out-loud funny caper through a mix of the modern and the mythic."—Ari Marmell, author of The Warlords Legacy"Outrageously fun."—The Plain Dealer"Kevin Hearne breathes new life into old myths, creating a world both eerily familiar and startlingly original."—Nicole Peeler, author of Tempest Rising Review Quote "Hearne, a self-professed comic-book nerd, has turned his love of awesome dudes whacking mightily at evil villains into a superb urban fantasy debut. Staying alive for 2,000 years takes a great deal of cunning, and sexy super-druid Atticus OSullivan, currently holed up in the Arizona desert, has vexed a few VIPs along the way. High up on that list is Aenghus Excerpt from Book Chapter 1 There are many perks to living for twenty-one centuries, and foremost among them is bearing witness to the rare birth of genius. It invariably goes like this: Someone shrugs off the weight of his cultural traditions, ignores the baleful stares of authority, and does something his countrymen think to be completely batshit insane. Of those, Galileo was my personal favorite. Van Gogh comes in second, but he really was batshit insane Thank the Goddess I dont look like a guy who met Galileo--or who saw Shakespeares plays when they first debuted or rode with the hordes of Genghis Khan. When people ask how old I am, I just tell them twenty-one, and if they assume I mean years instead of decades or centuries, then that cant be my fault, can it? I still get carded, in fact, which any senior citizen will tell you is immensely flattering.
