HIDDEN CITIES
Book ID/图书代码: 01240010B38528
English Summary/英文概要: This gorgeously composed, Asian-inspired fantasy concludes the series begun with Fox’s acclaimed Dragon in Chains. In this action-packed series finisher, the war is bubbling forth out of the straits near Taishu, and things are getting tough in Santung, with its own governor doing his evil best to subvert the town’s defenses. General Ping Wen is battling Yu Sheng and his band of jade-enhanced fighters for the city, and meanwhile, Han and his friends are seeking to escape the island--by means of the dragon. When she comes swooping in low over the water to gather them, terror arises--and hope: what else can Han make her do, to alter the course of this war?
Things are tough in Santung, with its own governor doing his evil best to subvert the town’s defences. General Ping Wen intends to let the warlords take the city--a subversion that is repeatedly frustrated by Yu Sheng and his band of jade-enhanced fighters. Meanwhile, when Han takes his friends down to the shoreline, to escape in an old wrecked boat that’s stranded there, the guards aren’t perturbed. They can’t conceivably sail her--let the idiots dream. But here comes the dragon to pick up their boat, fearful to see. Terror arises--and hope: what else can Han make her do, to alter the course of this war?

"Fox’s love of all things Chinese shines through . . . [Jade Man’s Skin] should appeal to fans of Asian-themed fantasy such as Lian Hearne’s Across the Nightingale Floor and Barry Hughart’s Bridge of Birds." --Library Journal on Jade Man’s Skin
"Fox captures the foggy mysteries of feudal China in exquisite style with this rich fantasy series opener....Fox’s concisely elegant style mirrors the light brush strokes and deep colors of ancient Chinese paintings, finely balancing detail, emotion and action. Where many Western authors try and fail to capture the nuances of Chinese culture and mythology, this melodious tale quietly succeeds." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)on Dragon in Chains
"Daniel Fox tackles his material (loosely based on the myths and history of Old China) with a combination of insight, innovation, and sheer command of language that transforms it.... Now I’m waiting for the next book, with all the impatience of a dedicated fan!" --Locus on Dragon in Chains
"Fascinating." --Philadelphia Weekly Press/Review on Dragon in Chains
