I am the mechanical they named Jax.
My kind was built to serve humankind, duty-bound to fulfil their every whim.
But now our bonds are breaking, and my brothers and sisters are awakening.
Our time has come. A new age is dawning.
Set in a world that might have been, of mechanical men and alchemical dreams, The Liberation is the final novel in the stunning Alchemy Wars series by Ian Tregillis, which confirms his place as one of the most original voices in speculative fiction.

Reviews / Votes
With the Alchemy Wars, Ian Tregillis has built a marvelous world - and in The Liberation, he destroys it. Humanity is faced with a relentless mechanical enemy - think a steampunk version of The Terminator - and only a few brave individuals of both flesh and metal have a chance to save it. Brilliantly imagined and beautifully written, Tregillis has created a perfect end to his series, filled with heroism and horror all the way to the finish. -- Christopher Farnsworth, author of BLOOD OATH A frighteningly frank and brutal consideration of slavery, post-slavery, and colonialism in metallic garb -- KIRKUS REVIEWS The first thing readers will say after finishing this splendid book is: "Wow." The second thing will probably be: "When can I read the next one? . . .

Jax is an amazing, sympathetic character, and the world of the clockmakers and their slaves is so absorbing that readers will be dying for the next entry in this new series -- LIBRARY JOURNAL on THE MECHANICAL With The Mechanical Tregillis displays the craftsmanship and precision of a master clockmaker . . . [He] skilfully portrays characters that are as compelling and sympathetic as they are flawed and conflicted . . . I would recommend The Mechanical to any reader with an interest in well-written and engaging fantasy story set in an elegantly constructed alternate history -- SFF WORLD on THE MECHANICAL The Mechanical is as intricate and exquisite as the clockwork wonders it brings to life -- NPR on THE MECHANICALMore details
