FANTASTIC!

Shard LeFel, prince of the Realm of the Strange, was exiled by his brother, the King to reside in the mortal realm until his death. Three hundred years have passed and finally Shard has the three components necessary to open the gateway to the Strange and go home to take revenge upon his brother. Unfortunately for Shard, he has pissed off Jeb Lindson who is now out to kill him. Also the Madder brothers have hired Cedar Hunt to track and steal the Holder - a Strange artifact that Shard needs to effect his return. Shard sets his Matics - steam and magic powered mechanical creatures - after Jeb and his wife Mae.

It all comes together in one unbelievable showdown involving the entire town, all our heroes and heroines and all the mechanical beasties. Simply breathtaking and amazing. I can't wait until July to get my hands on Tin Swift, the next magical encounter with our heroes.
