" Sandymancer is an endearing, imaginative post-apocalyptic-fantasy-hard SF mashup with refreshing characters and a twist." --Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling co-author of Dune: House Atreides " Sandymancer is a whole new world of dazzling magic, machinery and literary machination. A post-Anthropocene adventure that manages to be surprising, thrilling, and uplifting at the same time. I would follow Caralee anywhere!" --Usman T. Malik, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Midnight Doorways: Fables from Pakistan "As if The Devil Goes Down to Georgia met Miyazaki, Sandymancer is a dust-bowl apocalyptica that asks riveting questions about the interplay between knowledge, corruption and responsibility; painted with the vibrant and whimsical cadence of a story book, and shot through with bold spikes of brutal, adult logic. It's a rollicking good time. and funny too!" --Jennifer Giesbrecht, author of The Monster of Elendhaven "Readers will be drawn in by the well-realized characters and the weird westernesque setting.

Edison makes this dystopia fun." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for The Waking Engine : "This debut fantasy is a fever dream of vivid imagery and dark luscious prose, reminiscent of China Miéville in its byzantine, steampunk-influenced cityscape." -- Library Journal, starred review "Edison breaks some new ground here, and even when he's in familiar territory, he finds his own way of exploring it. An impressive debut." -- Booklist "Intensely descriptive and detailed, The Waking Engine will spur readers' imaginations." -- RT Bookreviews "Highly original, beautifully weird, deeply immersive, The Waking Engine is a storming debut and a fantasy guaranteed to trip you out." --Adam Christopher, author of Stranger Things: Darkness on the Edge of Town "A novel of gigantic--nay, cosmic--ideas, brought down to earth by witty characters and a delightfully clueless everyman protagonist. Universal apocalypses don't come any bigger, or more entertaining.

" --Alex Bledsoe, author of Long Black Curl "David Edison makes his debut with a novel of great creativity and richness. There's nothing small about this story, from its remarkable premise to its cast of splendidly mad characters and its complex, beautifully realized world. I can't wait for the next volume." --Delia Sherman, author of The Evil Wizard Smallbone.
