The Moreau Quartet: Volume Two: Emperors of the Twilight / Specters of the Dawn: 2 - Softcover

Praise for the Moreau Quartet:

"An entertaining, hard-boiled detective novel set in a gritty, relatively near-future.... If any book was meant to be made into an action-adventure movie, this is it." --Locus

"Mix in every detective novel you've ever read, include some Terminator and The Incredible Hulk, and you've got Nohar.... I look forward to more adventures." --VOYA

"Fast-paced and well-written, with a plot packed with action and suspense.... To create a credible tiger-human with whom the reader can empathize is no mean feat, but Swann pulls it off." --Kliatt

"Here is the printed-page equivalent of an action movie: a novel as vivid as a cinema blockbuster loaded with high-budget special effects.... It also has the rhythm of an action flick, with violent fight or chase scenes occurring at frequent intervals." --The New York Review of Science Fiction
