Ashraf Bey was the star of the Pashazade trilogy, Jon Courtenay Grimwood's epic re-imagining of a modern world transformed by an Ottaman Empire that never fell. And now Ashraf Bey and the talking fox in his head are back. There are rumours of a Russian city disappearing off the face of the world, stories of a massive flash of light, of tens of thousands dead. The nuclear bomb has arrived in Ashraf Bey's world and the Ottoman Empire must face a new world order. With Islam so much in the news Jon Courtenay Grimwood's Middle-eastern novels have never been more timely, his cosmopolitan approach never more apposite. This new trilogy will be welcomed by fans and new readers alike.
