For the first time in Russian - perhaps the most anticipated novel of the new decade by science fiction lovers, a triumphant return to the world of the cult “Daughter of the Iron Dragon.” The master of mixing styles and unpredictable zigzags of the plot again unfolds a large-scale canvas, pitting cruel elves and steam dragons, were-foxes and populist politicians, Babylonian man-bulls and fighting centaurs, ancient prophecies and an unquenchable thirst for revenge. And it all begins with the fact that a bomber dragon, shot down by an air defense basilisk, crawls into the village where the half-mortal Will le Fay lives, and declares himself the new ruler...

(back cover) “Daughter of the Iron Dragon” Michael Swanwick created a whole new genre in the literature of the imagination. "Dragons of Babylon" is a brilliant continuation of that truly legendary book. This novel - stylistically impeccable, perfectly structured in terms of plot dynamics (in other words, drawing the reader in headlong) - is one of those rare books of the fantasy genre that I can recommend without the slightest reservation.

An absolute masterpiece, the pinnacle of modern fantasy.

If you are already familiar with Michael Swanwick's fantasy universe, where dragons and elves are combined with steam and electricity, then you can't wait to go back there. And if you are not familiar yet, get ready to catch your jaw, which will certainly fall off with delight. Swanwick is literally incomparable...

Gene Wolfe

Only at Swanwick can a BMW park next to a hippogriff, and a manticore run back and forth with a motorcycle as if there was nothing more natural. Most authors They are also lucky if they manage to either master the beauty of the style, or come up with a new exciting idea, or write out the characters vividly. Swanwick, on the other hand, invariably wins on all three counts at once.

Vernor Vinge

Steampunk fantasy of the highest grade... reveals the dark underbelly of magic no worse than Neil Gaiman's The Doorway or The Mirror Mask.< /p>

Starlog

I forgive you, Michael Swanwick. I forgive you for making me wait so long for this amazing book. Dragons of Babylon is at least as good as Daughter of the Iron Dragon...

Jane Yolen

Michael Swanwick is one of the most sophisticated science fiction writers of his generation.
