He is a three-time winner of the Ditmar Award in his native Australia  and has also won that countrys Aurealis Award. His last novel  Souls in the Great Machine  began the steampunk saga of Greatwinter and garnered him much critical acclaim. The Miocene Arrow continues McMullens story of a far-future Earth flung back to its pre-technological roots.  Ultra-light American diesel gunwings can hold their own against Australian human-powered battle computers and a tram-based net. But they are helpless against the ultimate doomsday machine: The Miocene Arrow.  In a fortieth-century America of ancient kingdoms with opulent courts  hereditary engineering guilds  and rigid class distinction in warfare  a centuries-old balance of power is shattered by a few dozen Australian infiltrators. Against a rich backdrop of war  chivalry  conspiracy  and a diesel-powered arms race  a dangerous secret alliance has formed. Now the unlikely trio of an airlord  an abbess  and a fugitive are joined together in a desperate race against time to stop the Miocene Arrow from being launched--and save the world in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44963063332917,"sku":"ByrdShop_031287054X","price":139.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780312870546.jpg?v=1770405609","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-miocene-arrow","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
