This modern odyssey of one young man's quest for knowledge and
understanding explores a world where revenge, betrayal, revolution,
mind-bending chemicals, magic and murder are the norm. With
jaw-dropping scope, a stiletto-sharp wit and an array of utterly bizarre
characters, Jim Dodge has woven a mesmerising and age-defining tale.
Like a river constantly changing direction, Stone Junction is both
stomach-clutchingly hilarious and heart-rendingly sad - but always
utterly compelling. Prepare to step into a world where nothing is ever
as it seems.
When Daniel's mother dies, he is brought under the protection of the AMO: the Alliance of Magicians and Outlaws. It is an introduction to a world of revenge, revolution and mind-bending chemicals, where anarchists, alchemists and high-stake gamblers co-exist. It is a place in which magic and murder are the norm.
So begins an extraordinary quest for knowledge and understanding in this unforgettable outlaw classic.
'It is a non-stop take, making you laugh, cry and wonder. The characters are excellent and even though you know you that many of the events are genuinely impossible, it feels completely believable thoughout.' - Highland News Group
