"A gutsy fantasy set in a world of imperial greed and magical
plotting, with an eye for the ordinary soldier's plight that would
have done Kipling proud."--Karen Traviss, #1 New York Times
bestselling author of Star Wars: Legacy of the Force -- Revelation
and City of Pearl
"A masterful debut -- if J.R.R. Tolkien and Bernard Cornwell had a
literary love child, this would be it."--Karen Traviss, #1 New York
Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Legacy of the
Force-Revelation and City of Pearl
"Evans's first novel heralds the launch of an outstanding military
fantasy series unlike any since Glen Cook's beloved "Black Company"
series... Strong storytelling, a compelling cast of heroes and
villains, and a keen knowledge of military tactics of the
Napoleonic era make this a priority purchase for most libraries and
a splendid read for fans of both sf and fantasy military adventure.
Highly recommended."
-- "Library Journal"
"Imagine Napoleon's armies invading Middle Earth, mixing gunpowder
with magic, monsters, and heroes. The Iron Elves will march across
the landscape of fantasy and claim new territory. Chris Evans gives
us an entertaining debut, with the promise of more great adventures
to come."--Charles Coleman Finlay, acclaimed author of The Prodigal
Troll and Wild Things
