Hailed by George R. R. Martin as “a fresh, original, and engrossing
tale by a bright new voice in the fantasy genre,” The Lies of Locke
Lamora introduced one of the most compelling protagonists in years and
established Scott Lynch as a household name. Years later, the
Gentleman Bastard series continues to shine with Lynch’s signature
blend of swashbuckling adventure, sparkling wit, and seemingly
impossible heists. It’s all here in this rollicking eBook bundle,
which collects the first three volumes of Lynch’s one-of-a-kind
series: THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA RED SEAS UNDER RED SKIES THE
REPUBLIC OF THIEVES An orphan’s life is harsh—and often
short—in the mysterious island city of Camorr. But young Locke
Lamora dodges death and slavery, becoming a thief under the tutelage
of a gifted con artist. As leader of the band of light-fingered
brothers known as the Gentleman Bastards, Locke is soon infamous,
fooling even the underworld’s most feared ruler. But in the shadows
lurks someone still more ambitious and deadly. Faced with a bloody
coup that threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds
meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy at his own
brutal game—or die trying. Praise for the Gentleman Bastard
series The Lies of Locke Lamora “Remarkable . . . Scott
Lynch’s first novel, The Lies of Locke Lamora, exports the suspense
and wit of a cleverly constructed crime caper into an exotic realm of
fantasy, and the result is engagingly entertaining.”—The Times
(London) “Right now, in the full flush of a second reading, I
think The Lies of Locke Lamora is probably in my top ten favorite
books ever. Maybe my top five. If you haven’t read it, you should.
If you have read it, you should probably read it again.”—Patrick
Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind
“A unique fantasy milieu peopled by absorbing, colorful characters .
. . Locke’s wit and audacity endear him to victims and bystanders
alike.”—The Seattle Times Red Seas Under Red Skies “Lynch
hasn’t merely imagined a far-off world, he’s created it, put it
all down on paper—the smells, the sounds, the people, the feel of
the place. The novel is a virtuoso performance, and sf/fantasy fans
will gobble it up.”—Booklist (starred review) “It’ll only
be a matter of time before Scott Lynch is mentioned in the same breath
as George R. R. Martin and Steven Erikson.”—Fantasy Book Critic
“The kind of witty romp that reminds you exactly how much fun heroic
fantasy is supposed to be.”—SFX The Republic of Thieves
“Fast-paced, fun, and impossible to put down . . . Locke and company
remain among the most engaging protagonists in
fantasy.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “The Republic of
Thieves has all the colorful action, witty repartee, and devious
scheming that fans of the series have come to expect.”—Wired
“A fantasy world unique among its peers . . . If you’re looking
for a great new fantasy series this is one you won’t want to miss. .
. . In a word: AWESOME!”—SF Revu
