Monstrous Devices

Alex's newest gift from his grandfather is an old tin robot for his collection.  There's something different about this one though he can't quite figure out what it is.  He is awakened that night by strange sounds to find more tiny robots in his bedroom.  He is mesmerized by the tiny things until they become violent.

Alex isn't sure how to handle the situation, so he's grateful when his grandfather shows up.  The two then set off on a race across Europe pursued by tiny aggressive robots and the ruthless people who control them. 

Now Alex is caught up in an ancient feud between competing powers and the old tin robot is right at the heart of it.  He will have to move quickly or risk the destruction of a city if the Golem of Prague is awakened.

Damien Love's debut is something different.  Robots and golems?  Yes, please!  This was a great adventure with plenty of atmosphere and thrills.  Recommended for those who like their fantasy a little on the bloody side.
