The Witch Who Came in from the Cold - Tapa blanda

"The Witch Who Came in from the Cold is a chilly evocation of a different kind of Cold War."--Charles Stross, author of the Laundry Files series

"The diabolical secret weapon of serialized storytelling is that each bit just whets your appetite for more. When can I have the next one?"--Marie Brennan, author of A Natural History of Dragons

"The occult love child of John le Carre and The Sandbaggers."--Marie Brennan, author of A Natural History of Dragons

Location: Prague. Time: 1970. Two things this city was lousy with: spies and witches.

"As soon as I saw that, I was instantly hooked, and the pilot jacked the intrigue to the max. Two female Soviet spy witches, an American spy with something weird drilling magical holes in his head, and a world of secrets within secrets in a locale where old-world myth and the Cold War face off, pedal to the metal . . . it's awesome. Or as we said in 1970, Far out. "--Sherwood Smith, author of Crown Duel

"Take a double shot of Le Carré, a dash of Deighton, a twist of Quiller, a splash of Al Stewart's "The Year of the Cat," throw in a jigger full of elemental magic, mix well ... and voilà! The Witch Who Came In From The Cold."--Victor Milán, author of The Dinosaur Lords

"Those who like to mix magic, spycraft, and secret history should enjoy this - it may please fans of Stross's Laundry series."--Locus Magazine

"Full of fast-paced, high-intensity action paired with magic at a level that has not been seen until now, with a cliff-hanger that lets readers know that the game is not over and has only just begun."--The San Francisco Book Review

* "The installments are easy to read one at a time, but the tangles of alliances, secrets, and shocking double-crosses will have readers up all night mumbling, "Just one more."--Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

Spies and sorcerers face off during the Cold War, with the fate of the world in balance in this print edition of a hugely popular serial novel from five award-winning and critically acclaimed authors.
