A children's book for grown-ups by Jon Evans I usually write international thrillers, but Beasts of New York is very different, both in style and content. It's an urban fantasy about the wildlife of New York City, starring a squirrel protagonist who has to find his way from exile in Staten Island back to his home in Central Park. Go ahead and start reading now, or see the table of contents. Please note that you can switch between white-on-black and black-on-white, for your reading pleasure. Or you can download the whole book as a single HTML file for your Palm Pilot, iPhone, Sony Reader or what-have-you. Sprechen sie Deutsch? There's a German version of the first half of the book, translated by fan Sven Räbiger (and I'm pleased to report he's working on the second half, too.) To learn more, consult the Frequently Asked Questions, email me at jon@beastsofnewyork.com, or comment on a chapter - I'm always happy to hear from readers. Praise for my previous work"Evans can write." - The Washington Post "Thought-provoking ... Invisible Armies is an intriguing, pacy read, and Mr Evans shows great potential." - The Economist "You're hooked ... the characters are delightfully delineated ... beautifully controlled ... (a) pacy thriller for the 21st century." - The Times (London) on Trail of the Dead "A fantastic read." - Booklist on The Blood Price |
