About book Empire Of Unreason (2001)

Book 3 of the Age of Unreason takes place 10 years after a Calculus of Angels. Ben Franklin has returned to America after saving Venice, founding a secret society called the Junto whos purpose is to protect against warlocks possessed by angels, demons, or malekim as modern scientists refer to the ethereal entities who seek to finally destroy mankind. Adrienne heads the Russian ministry of science, devising new and deadly weapons for Tasr Peter's armies as they continue to sweep across the world. Things change dramatically when Red Shoes, the Choctaw shaman receives a vision of a great danger to the West, and sets of the discover what is coming to destroy the world. Meanwhile, a subtle invasion of America begins when the pretender King of England arrives at the head of a fleet, and tries to win over the Americans to become his new kingdom. This sets off a war that the Americans cannot hope to win with conventional tactics. Fortunately for them Ben Franklin is a master of innovation in the face of overwhelming odds. Adreinne begins a quest to find her long lost son after an assassination attempt provides her with a clue in her long cold trail to find him.These events set the stage for the final climax in the story of a world turned different due the the angelic interference in the affairs of man, and deftly twines science, magic, superstition, and soldiery into a sweeping desperate tale of resistance against overwhelming odds. This time, events are too large to contain in a single volume, and are continued in the final book of the series...

Ok so this is the third book of the series and it is by far my least favorite ever. It took me 5 times as long to read as the others because it couldn't seem to grab my attention. It really felt like a whole book where everyone walks around lost not really accomplishing anything as they ever so very slowly get nowhere. I didn't like the weird relationship issues it brought between many of the main characters and I really didn't care for the slow almost non existent way they moved. Yeah it wasn't one for me at all. I had to take a break from the series after this so I've lowered the priority of the fourth book. Hopefully that will perk me up as it seems some things are finally coming to a head in it.

Do You like book Empire Of Unreason (2001)?

My first steampunk novel. As a scientist I loved it very much.

Que peut faire un auteur lorsqu’il a désintégré l’Europe, a failli s’attaquer à l’Afrique, tout en faisant de la Russie une nation légèrement attardée ? Simplement franchir l’Atlantique. Et c’est ce que fait Keyes dans ce troisième tome qui emmène les personnages survivants en Amérique, pour notre plus grand plaisir. Parce que si le deuxième tome était à mon sens un peu loupé, les dix ans d’intervalle qu’il place entre ces deux derniers tomes lui permet de remettre à plat un certain nombre de choses et, en quelque sorte, de reprendre sa respiration sur un rythme plus adapté à la taille de son ouvrage. J’ai dit à propos du deuxième tome qu’il était en-dessous du premier. Celui-ci aussi. Pourtant, grâce justement à ce délai, et à la respiration qu’il nous impose, j’ai pu me rendre compte de la qualité de ce cycle. En effet, ce troisième tome est vraiment bien, les retournements de situation(1) sont assez subtilement amenés, et la diplomatie indienne réserve quelques bons moments. Et, pour mon plus grand bonheur, le quatrième et dernier tome m’attend chez moi, prêt pour clôturer, j’espère avec classe, cette saga complètement démentielle. (1) qui ont parfois un petit côté Dallas
