Publisher Description
In The Nine Pound Hammer, John Bemis introduced middle-grade readers to a whole new approach to epic fantasy, founded on characters and themes from American mythology and lore, including the legend of John Henry. Now in the third and final book, the heroes come together at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago for a final confrontation with a businessman and tycoon who is in fact an ageless evil known as the Gog. With his Dark Machine, he intends to bend the world to his ruthless vision of progress and efficiency. It's man versus machine all over again, fighting for the soul of humanity in front of Ferris's Wheel. For fans of adventure fantasy like Percy Jackson and Peter and the Starcatchers.

"A very strong 4. Great ending to a very good series. Mr. Bemis manages to bring it all together at the end of this one. There are no perfect ending here- just satisfying. Bittersweet. I want more of this type of tale for readers of all ages to enjoy and explore."

" A nice finish to the trilogy. Some unexpected parts ... some for the good and others less so. Still. For a random pick off the shelves I'm satisfied! "

" If you liked this book, you might also enjoy The Half-Made World or His Dark Materials. "

" I found this to be the slowest book in the trilogy. The three books should have been two. The chase was much too long. As with the others, however, the prose is good, and I find the characters thoroughly engaging. "
