Aylesford Skull (Langdon St Ives 3) [Idioma Inglés] (Tale of Langdon St. Ives) - Softcover

Praise for James P. Blaylock: "A singular American fabulist." - William Gibson, author of The Difference Engine "Blaylock is a magician!" - Michael Swanwick "Blaylock's prose is so rich it literally sings!" - Charles de Lint "Blaylock is better than anyone else at showing us the magic that secretly animates our world..." - Tim Powers, author of On Stranger Tides "While many recent novels have picked up the steampunk banner, this one fully delivers, offering action, farce, tender relationships, and prose full of genuine Victorian cadence and flavor." - Publishers Weekly [on The Affair of the Chalk Cliffs] "St. Ives has to be one of the most fleshed out Victorian characters ever written, and I'm sincerely hoping that Blaylock isn't finished with this scientist adventurer. The Aylesford Skull can easily stand alone without any knowledge of Blaylock's previous steampunk stories, but you'll want to hunt down additional St. Ives tales, I'm for certain." - Wired.com
