Reseña del libro "Bound (en Inglés)"
"I know your secret."Alex Caine is a martial artist fighting in illegal cage matches. His powerful secret weapon is an unnatural vision that allows him to see his opponents' moves before they know their intentions themselves. When enigmatic Englishman, Patrick Welby, shows Alex how to unleash a breathtaking realm of magic and power, Alex is drawn into a mind-bending adventure beyond his control.A cursed grimoire binds Alex to Uthentia, a chaotic Fey godling, who leads him towards chaos and murder, an urge Alex finds harder and harder to resist. Befriended by Silhouette, a monstrous Kin beauty, Alex sets out to recover the only things that will free him-the shards of the Darak. But that powerful stone also has the potential to unleash a catastrophe which could mean the end of the world as we know it.Bound is dark urban fantasy at its best!PRAISE FOR ALAN BAXTER AND THE ALEX CAINE SERIES"If Stephen King and Jim Butcher ever had a love child then it would be Alan Baxter." -Smash Dragons"I was completely blown away when I read this. The world he's built rivals anything by Jim Butcher.... I'm reminded of Benedict Jacka and Kevin Hearne..." -Kylie Chan, author of The Dark Heavens, Journey to Wudang, and Celestial Battle trilogies"Kick ASS!" -Sean Williams, New York Times #1 bestselling author"I had a lot of fun reading Alan Baxter's Bound...It's a teeth-gnashing, shadow-chasing, magesign-riddled sexy beast of a thing!" -Margo Lanagan, award-winning author of Sea Hearts and Tender Morsels "A genuine page-turner from a major new writer." -The West Australian "...an escalating adventure that mixes epic dark urban fantasy with thriller pacing... I'd compare this series to Jim Butcher's work in terms of Urban Fantasy, though whereas Butcher riffs off hard boiled tropes, Baxter most definitely riffs off the thriller genre." -Sean Wright, Adventures of a Bookonaut "I highly recommend Bound to anyone who likes a good supernatural action thriller." -Traci Harding, bestselling author of The Ancient Future and The Timekeepers"...a relentless whirlwind of magic, sex, and violence. Bound is a rollercoaster of gritty magic, evocative settings, and brutal action: a solid intro to a new urban fantasy series." -Billy Burmester, Aurealis Magazine"Alan Baxter delivers a heady mix of magic, monsters and bloody fights to the death. Nobody does kick-ass brutality like Baxter." -Greig Beck, bestselling author of Beneath the Dark Ice and Dark Rising (Alex Hunter series) "It kept me hanging in there, eagerly flipping pages to find out who was going to be the next brutalized victim or what twisted deed would be performed next. This story packs a punch!" ML Spencer, Grimdark Magazine
