The final book in Katharine McGee's epic New York Times bestselling Thousandth Floor series ![]() ![]() ![]() Hennessey has taken a wildly circuitous path from his Sheffield Road home in north Framingham to publishing a book that outsold Barack Obama's biography "for a few hours on Amazon." It has been nominated by the Young Adult Library Services Association for the Great Graphic Books for Teens list and praised in a starred review by Library Journal as "an effective accomplishment (that's) highly recommended for all collections." If Ben Franklin were alive today, the cagey old printer would probably be publishing it instead of Hill and Wang, a division of Farrar, Strauss and Giroux.

The names of the characters alone - Logen Ninefingers, Inquisitor Glokta, and Bayaz, First of the Magi - are ones you can really sink your teeth into. What sets The First Law Trilogy apart - and makes it perfect for a film adaptation - is the raw, realistic and so-vivid-you'll-cover-your-eyes visualization of the world, from barbarian battles to Medieval torture and explicit sex scenes. Martin's series A Song of Ice and Fire as far as fleshed-out characters and an intricate political web are concerned. It's actually got a lot in common with George R.R. Like any good fantasy, The First Law Trilogy has its ample share of swords and shields, sandals and sorcery, blood, sex and violence. ![]() ![]() ![]() Jardine was born on 12 April 1944 in Oxford, the eldest of four daughters of mathematician and polymath, Jacob Bronowski, and the sculptor, Rita Coblentz.
