EARLY ACCLAIM FOR
GUN MACHINE
"From the wrenching violence of its first pages to its bone-jarring conclusion, Gun Machine never lets go of the reader and never flags in its relentless pace. In the course of 300 tightly wound pages, Ellis unloads a full clip of ideas, black humor, character, and copper-sheathed action scenes. Every sentence is a bull's-eye."
-JOE HILL, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF HEM-SHAPED BOX AND HORNS
"Gun Machine is packing heat: wonderfully demented misfits, killer dialogue, a helluva story. Warren Ellis is a twisted genius and this is his grittiest, sexiest, and best work by far."

"Warren Ellis is one of the greatest writers of my generation, not to mention my personal favorite. Gun Machine is a perfect example of why. Fiercely entertaining, compellingly crafted, and filled with big ideas and small that make the writer in me growl: Damn, I wish I would've thought of that."

WARREN ELLIS REIMAGINES NEW YORK CITY AS A PUZZLE WITH THE MOST DANGEROUS PIECES OF ALL:
GUNS.
After a shoot-out claims the life of his partner in a condemned tenement building on Pearl Street, Detective John Tallow unwittingly stumbles across an apartment stacked high with guns. When examined, each weapon leads to a different, previously unsolved murder. Someone has been killing people for twenty years or more and storing the weapons together for an inexplicable purpose.
Confronted with the sudden emergence of hundreds of unsolved homicides, Tallow soon discovers that he's walked in on a veritable deal with the devil. An unholy bargain that has made possible the rise of some of Manhattan's most prominent captains of industry. Now Tallow is searching for a hunter who performs his deadly acts as a sacrifice to the old gods of Manhattan and who may, quite simply, be the most prolific murderer in New York City's history.
Warren Ellis's body of work has steadily amassed legions of die-hard fans and has been championed by Wired for its "merciless action" and "incorruptible bravery." His newest novel builds on his accomplishments like never before, announcing Ellis as one of today's most daring thriller writers. This is twenty-first-century suspense writ large. This is Gun Machine. Vissza
