Ferocious fantasy from a real-life hardman come to claim the post-Gemmell world.
THEY CAME FROM THE NORTH AND THE CITY FELL.
It is a time for warriors, a time for heroes. Kell's axe howls out for blood. The land of Falanor has been invaded by an albino army, the Army of Iron. A small group set off to warn the king: Kell, a magnificent and brutal hero; his granddaughter, Nienna and her friend, Katrina; and Saark, the ex-Sword Champion of King Leanoric, disgraced after his affair with the Queen.
Fighting their way south, betrayal follows battle, battle follows deviation, and they are attacked from all quarters by deadly warriors, monstrous harvesters who drain blood from their victims to feed their masters. As Falanor comes under heavy attack and invasion, only then does Nienna begin to learn the truth about grandfather Kell -- that he is anything but a hero. Ferocious fantasy from a real-life hardman come to claim the post-Gemmell world.

E-book ISBN: 978-0-85766-017-6Praise for Andy Remic:
"This is one of the most entertaining books I have read this year. The characters are dynamic and believable. The plot takes off at a rapid clip and does not slow down. Remic’s clockwork vampires are the most creative and interesting vampires I have seen in quite some time." - James Atlantic's Speaks
"...blood-spattered ultraviolence" - SFX Magazine (November 2007)
"War Machine is like the collected hardware spank banks of Chris Foss, Neal Asher and Jeremy Clarkson all mashed into one" - Death Ray Magazine (January 2008)
"Biohell can stake a claim as the finest viral nightmare since 28 Days Later" - Calum Waddell, SFX Magazine (January 2009)
"His staccato prose is punchy and he delivers in the action stakes" - Alasdair Morton, SciFi Now Magazine (January 2009)
"A fun, hectically fast-paced and brutally action-packed novel... If you’re a fan of colourful characters, plenty of blood and gore, and an interesting and memorable take on a phenomenon that you may have had your fill of already (cryptic, I know, but I don’t want to spoil it), then this book is definitely for you and is guaranteed to keep you up late, flinching, cheering and fevered." - Dave Brendon, Dave Brendon's Fantasy & SciFi Weblog
