Pyrotechnicon

Being a TRUE ACCOUNT of Cyrano de Bergerac’s FURTHER ADVENTURES among the STATES and EMPIRES of the STARS by Himself (dec’d) (Englished from the French by Adam Browne)

BY HIS NOSE YOU MAY KNOW HIM

Cyrano de Bergerac: lover, poet, inventor, swordsman — man of ferocious blade and pretty talent. Now it can be told: his final, most daring adventure — a fight to the death against the dread Master of Secrets, with the life of his beloved Roxane in the balance. ‘A rich dessert of a novel, filled with finely crafted wit and adventure — Adam Browne has resurrected Cyrano in fine form. Delightful!’ Greg Bear — Hugo and Nebula award-winning science fiction author ‘The title does not mislead. PYROTECHNICON is a literary cabinet of curiosities filled with lush imagery and exotic notions. A delicious concoction of swashbucklery and delight. Highly recommended.’ Jeff Vandermeer — World Fantasy award-winning author of Finch Hardback – 260 pages ISBN 9780987158727 – printed book ISBN 9780987158734 – ebook
