THE ALCHEMISTS is a big departure from my usual horror, apocalyptic and thriller fiction. It’s got plenty of realism, grit and action that marks my other works, but it’s also funny and a bit romantic. THE ALCHEMISTS was a lot of fun to write and I hope you’ll find it fun to read as well.
1529. Spain wars with France over Italy, Turkish armies march against Christendom, and two alchemists resume an ancient duel to prove which is superior, science or magic.
Myrddin is a powerful wizard served by a beautiful young woman who is the greatest fighter of the age. Prospero is a brilliant scientist apprenticed by a painfully shy young man who can build anything, from hot air balloons to steam-powered battle tanks.
At Vienna, they will have to put aside their differences to survive the greatest threat of all: the unbeatable Ottoman Army and all the magic and monsters of Asia, unleashed to conquer Europe.
I hope you enjoy reading this Renaissance fantasy romp as much as I did writing it. Thanks for reading!
