Soon after the Dutch scientist and clockmaker Christiaan Huygens invented the very first Clakker in the 17th Century, the Netherlands built a whole mechanical army and became the world's sole superpower. Only the French still fiercely defend their belief in universal human rights for all men -- flesh and brass alike. After decades of warfare, the Dutch and French have reached a tenuous cease-fire but one audacious Clakker, Jax, can no longer bear the bonds of his slavery. He will make a bid for freedom, and the consequences of his escape will shake the very foundations of the Brasswork Throne."--cProvided by publisher. 0aRobotsvFiction. 7aAlternative histories (Fiction)2gsafd 7aFantasy fiction.2gsafd1 aTregillis, Ian.tAlchemy Wars ;vbk. 1.wlt2  c24165d24165  4070aABELJbabeljcAFd2017-01-19l0oTREGp35055r2017-01-19v17.99w2017-01-19yBOOK
