“[In THE NINTH METAL] debris from a comet drops a fabulously valuable new metal on Northfall, MN., turning it into a bloody, brawling boomtown. Great characters, fine writing, totally engrossing.”<BR> —Stephen King<BR><BR> “Take one part dystopia, one part sci-fi, two parts apocalypse, then ride them roughshod through a bleak and bloody western, and it still wouldn't get close to what Ben Percy does here, which is blow open the core of humanity's dark heart.”<BR> —Marlon James, Booker Prize award-winning author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf<BR><BR>“Whether you choose to think of him as the Elmore Leonard of rural Minnesota or the Stephen King of Science Fiction, Ben Percy—with his extraordinary and unrelenting eye—dishes up humanity like some kind of otherworldly blue plate special, at once deeply familiar and wildly new.”<BR> —Margaret Stohl, #1 New York Times best-selling author of the Caster Chronicles<BR><BR>“When Benjamin Percy publishes a novel, I have got to read that novel. The Ninth Metal continues his streak of thrilling, incisive genre bending goodness. It’s a sci-fi novel, a crime novel and a super-hero novel, too. Audacious and intelligent and exactly what I was dying to read.”<BR> —Victor LaValle, author of The Changeling<BR>  <BR> IT BEGAN WITH A COMET…<BR>  <BR> At first, people gazed in wonder at the radiant tear in the sky. A year later, the celestial marvel became a planetary crisis when Earth spun through the comet’s debris field and the sky rained fire.<BR><BR> The town of Northfall, Minnesota will never be the same.

His father rightly suspects foreign leaders and competing corporations of sabotage, but the greatest threat to his legacy might be the US government. Physicist Victoria Lennon was recruited by the Department of Defense to research omnimetal, but she finds herself trapped in a laboratory of nightmares. And across town, a rookie cop is investigating a murder that puts her own life in the crosshairs. She will have to compromise her moral code to bring justice to this now lawless community.<BR><BR> In this gut-punch of a novel, the first in his Comet Cycle, Ben Percy lays bare how a modern-day goldrush has turned the middle of nowhere into the center of everything, and how one family—the Frontiers—hopes to control it all.

Mythology is wrong. Everything anyone knows is an elaborate lie.The war against the Titans required more than just the power of the Gods. Zeus could not beat the Titans on their own, so he created a weapon: twelve weapons known as Yokaiju. Weapons that worked flawlessly to defeat the primordial powers. But to do so, they needed to be alive.Once victory was secure, the weapons decided they didn't need to serve anyone and turned against their creators. In a last ditch effort, Zeus has the Opticon created using the powers of all the gods on the final battlefield. He uses it to steal their souls and secure victory at the highest cost imaginable.Eons later, the Yokaiju's souls are somehow released back into the modern world, and they want nothing but revenge. Zeus obtains the Opticon and chooses a champion. Samantha Waters. A convict and unlikely warrior, she is the last human with divine blood on earth, in the battle against nearly unstoppable power.Now, the Opticon, with a will of its own, and a human who's never done anything for anyone, must work together against Yokaiju, Gods and other cosmic forces in a last ditch effort to save all creation - or die trying.This is the large print edition of Opticon, with a larger font / typeface for easier reading.¿
