mythology. He was born in Mississippi and raised there and on the

There has never been an epic quite like that created by J. Gregory
Keyes in the first two books of his Age of Unreason saga. With a
stunningly original blend of alternate history, fantasy, and
science fiction, Keyes has vividly reimagined the eighteenth
century and brought it brilliantly to life. Now his unforgettable
adventure shifts from Europe to the tumultuous shores of the New
World . . .
"The Age of Unreason "features the classic elements . . . high-tech
gadgetry, world-threatening superpower conflict, a quest to save
the world and a teen hero who's smarter than most of the
adults."

When James Francis Edward Stuart, also known as the Pretender, attempts to reassert English rule over America, Benjamin Franklin finds himself once more in the middle of a tangled web of politics and magic. Set in an alternate world devastated by a comet that has destroyed most of Europe, Keyes's (Newton's Cannon) iconoclastic tale of science and sorcery leavened by a set of otherworldly villains offers deliciously skewed portraits of historical figures as well as a genuinely intriguing plot.
