Miller appears to have left room for more at the story's end; let's hope this is the start of a new series." --Ian Schwartz, Bookpage "Debut novelist Miller offers a wealth of worldbuilding in this deft, nonconformist historical fantasy set during World War I...Miller offers a nuanced adventure story that mixes romance, gunplay, and social awareness into its steampunk-ish revelry. A fun, fast-paced coming-of-age story laced with magic."-- Kirkus Reviews "Miller's imaginative debut reads like an American cousin to Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell , filtering 19th and 20th century U.S....[T]he history of this alternate world and its magic tech are inventively executed."-- Publishers Weekly "A fun ride...a well-paced, satisfying adventure." -- Historical Novels Review "Spell-binding...a fantastical coming-of-age tale that will inspire and chill you." -- Rhode Island Monthly " The Philosopher's Flight has all the right ingredients to launch an epic story, bringing us into a vivid world rich with both history and imagination. Its narrative of magic warriors and healers feels remarkably grounded and authentic. Like his characters, Tom Miller casts a spell."-- Matthew Pearl, New York Times bestselling author of The Dante Club and The Last Bookaneer "In his first novel, Tom Miller creates a world that feels both fantastical and authentic, and he does it with a playful spirit and sharp wit. I'd follow his hero Robert Weekes anywhere. The Philosopher's Flight is deeply original, utterly transporting, and absolutely fun." --Janet McNally, author of Girls in the Moon "Tom Miller is one of the rare literary geniuses I have read who possesses a sense of humor and The Philosopher's Flight displays both qualities in heady quantities. Go along for the ride and you will be stimulated, educated, as well as happily overcome by laughter." --William O'Rourke, author of Idle Hands and Criminal Tendencies "Tom Miller's a sly wizard, reminiscent of L. Frank Baum on his best days, and The Philosopher's Flight is a thrill-a-minute, genre-busting display of narrative spells and delights." --Valerie Sayers, author of The Powers " The Philosopher's Flight is a romp of a tale... it will launch a hundred thousand glyphs and sigils in every reader's imaginations." --Sheheryar B. Sheikh, author of The Still Point of the Turning World, PRAISE FOR THE PHILOSOPHER'S FLIGHT BY TOM MILLER " The Philosopher's War has all the right ingredients to launch an epic story, bringing us into a vivid world rich with both history and imagination.
