Into the Darkness

Harry Turtledove turns his hand to a story of epic dimensions: the story of a World War in a world where magic works.For modern magic is deadlier than magic in eras past. Trained flocks of dragons rain fire upon cities. Rival powers harness sea leviathans to sabotage one another's ships. The lights are going out all across Derlavai, and will not come back on again in this lifetime.Against this tapestry, Turtledove tells the story of soldiers and generals, washerwomen and scholars, and peasants and diplomats. For all the world high born and low, is being plunged by world war ... into the darkness.
