Summary

The new submarine flotilla is the pride of the Japanese Navy. The maiden voyage of the newest boat not only attracts the attention of the Imperial family yet is at the same time a test for the selected crew. But shortly after departure, something mysterious happens: The submarine seems to sink and all crew members lose consciousness. When they awaken, they realize with horror that their boat has left its element. It rests on the top of a gigantic tomb for the King of Mutal, lord of the largest metropolis of the Maya, in the middle of the Central American mainland, some 1500 years in the past. The confused crew goes straight into war and faces the crucial question of where their path will lead them now – to an empire or straight into disaster?

    I’m Zayde. Master thief lord, wanted criminal… and college student. 
    I can’t wait to graduate from Ashana University. I went to school to make my mom happy, but honestly, I’d rather be robbing jewelry stores than going to class. 
    Until she shows up. The literal girl of my dreams. 
    I’ve been having these nightmares… dreams where I believe I’m some prince of thieves, and the girl in my history class is a queen. 
    Crazy, right? Except it’s really not. My history professor tells me he used to be our djinn, and that Bashira and I are reincarnations of the Raider Prince and Queen Bennua. We’re back to save the world once again. 
    It would be hard to believe if weird, magical monsters didn’t keep popping up on campus. 
    Bashira’s scared of our destiny. She doesn’t want anything to do with me. She says she’s no longer in love. 
    I’m about to change all that. She’ll be mine again. And this time, there’s no way I’ll ever let her go.

    This tale of a book-loving tough guy in a decimated Manhattan is “like Motherless Brooklyn dosed with Charlie Huston . . . Delirious and haunting” (Megan Abbott, author of Give Me Your Hand).   After a flu pandemic, a large-scale terrorist attack, and the total collapse of Wall Street, New York City is reduced to a shadow of its former self. As the city struggles to dig itself out of the wreckage, a nameless, obsessive-compulsive veteran with a spotty memory, a love for literature, and a strong if complex moral code (that doesn’t preclude acts of extreme violence) has taken up residence at the main branch of the New York Public Library on Forty-second Street.   Dubbed “Dewey Decimal” for his desire to reorganize the library’s stock, he gets by as bagman and muscle for New York City’s unscrupulous district attorney. He takes no pleasure in this kind of civic dirty work. He’d be perfectly content alone amongst his books. But this is not in the cards, as the DA calls on Dewey for a seemingly straightforward union-busting job.   What unfolds throws Dewey into a mess of danger, shifting allegiances, and old vendettas, forcing him to face the darkness of his own past and the question of his buried identity . . .   “The Dewey Decimal System is proof positive that the private detective will remain a serious and seriously enjoyable literary archetype.” —PopMatters
