Book description
Max Frei, and the LABYRINTHS OF ECHO series, is a multi-million copy
selling Russian literary sensation appearing in English for the first
time. Intriguing, original, remarkable and wry... THE LABYRINTHS OF ECHO
is a piece of absolute enchantment.
"Splash a bit of enchantment into my glass"... there is no
better phrase to describe the state that a reader may find themselves in
when exposed to this strong, absolutely legal, literary narcotic which
goes by the name of Max Frei.' - Stolichniye Novosti.
If it weren't for bad luck, Max Frei wouldn't have any luck at all.
A self-described twenty-something `classic loser', an insomniac,
hardened smoker, a glutton and a loafer, there's nothing much going for
Max Frei... at least not until he arrives in the magical city of Echo.
Summoned to the city by the head of the Department of Absolute Order,
Sir Juffin Halli, Max's dreams are becoming a reality. But as with all
dreams-come-true its not quite the reality Max expected; he's about to
become a secret agent, tasked to solve extravagant, impossible crimes
with nothing but his wits and a handful of unexplained magical abilities
to recommend him.
Max is going to be thrown into the fray - and he can't even have a
cigarette first... Max Frei is the author of the internationally
bestselling Labyrinths of Echo series starring a character called Max
Frei. She has also written books on literature and art. She lives in
Moscow.
