Publisher's Summary
A not-to-be-missed prequel episode from Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials universe.
Lee Scoresby--Texan aeronaut and future friend to Lyra Belacqua--is just 24 years old, and he's recently won his hot-air balloon in a poker game. He finds himself floating North to the windswept Arctic island of Novy Odense, where he and his hare daemon Hester are quickly tangled in a deadly plot involving an oil magnate, a corrupt mayoral candidate, and Lee's longtime nemesis from the Dakota Country, a hired killer with at least twenty murders to his name.
It's only after Lee forms an alliance with one of the island's reviled armored bears that he can fight to break up the conspiracy in a gun-twirling classic western shoot out--and battle of wits. A glimpse for Pullman fans into the first friendship of two of the most beloved characters in the His Dark Materials trilogy: Lee Scoresby and armored bear Iorek Byrnison.
Don't miss Philip Pullman's epic new trilogy set in the world of His Dark Materials!

What the critics say
“Pullman is as fine a writer as there is for young people, and this book is a small gem.”—Booklist, Starred
"An action-oriented mini masterpiece."—Kirkus Reviews
"Exuberant, intelligent fun . . . Once again Pullman has created a work of art that is enchanting for a child but equally appealing to an adult."—The Times (London)
