Aprašymas

From award-winning author Alexander C. Irvine comes a compelling, fantastical riff on history and World War II. The Narrows takes place in Detroit, where Henry Ford's factories have been retooled forAmerica's grand war effort. But there are also more clandestine operations under way-including a top-secret effort to produce golems-powerful beings fashioned from the earth-todestroy Nazis. Here lurk strange spies in unlikely places-and a not-so-extraordinary man who is inadvertently poised at the bizarre, urgent center of it all. . . .
Spared fighting in Europebecause of a bum hand, Jared wishes he could join the cause, instead of mindlessly sifting clay to be made into golems. But there is something that preys on his dreams: the devilish dwarf known as the Nain Rouge. In hisyouth, Jared once actually saw the Dwarf-a chilling creature that shows itself to individuals just before their demise. Now the Nain Rouge appears to be coming back for Jared himself.
Many havea profound interest in Jared's childhood run-in with the Dwarf-including a German spy, Jared's hateful foreman at the golem factory, and a shape-shifting Indian shaman. But what could a simpleman who earns a meager living possibly have to do with espionage and dark deeds? While Jared toils invisibly in the bowels of Ford's plant, the answer is about to reveal itself in a cataclysm of mythic andsinister proportions. "From the Trade Paperback edition."
