Tagline: Vulcan’s ancient
Automata find their purpose rebooted in the second installment of the CIRCO DEL
HERRERO series.
Book Description:
The crippled god of metallurgy,
fire, and alchemy has many names and many faces—sometimes Hephaestus, Ptah, or
Vulcan. He changes to suit his needs. And just like his names, his creations
have gone through countless revisions. This time, he’s finally onto
something—his Automata have turned the heads of other gods. They’ve noticed
their pre-programmed potential. There’s a reason Vulcan didn’t scrap the
Automata—a reason he left them in the care of humans all this time. They were
just the beta testers for his most intricate windup toy yet…
Vulcan’s ancient Automata find
their purpose rebooted in the second installment of the CIRCO DEL HERRERO/THE
BLACKSMITH’S CIRCUS series. Their immortal human Masters will drop like
flies—superfluous in the next round as the gods shuffle in a new deck of
fateful cards. The Masters can choose how and when, but they will all die to
free the Automata of their earthly chains. Odys and his Automaton, Maud,
struggle to protect his twin sister from the plotting of his dual-bodied
adversaries. But his sister, Odissa, finds herself a willing participant in The
Blacksmith’s latest exhibition—could she be the missing cog to the god’s
tightly wound machine all along?
In
this thrilling sequel to THE AUTOMATION, the Narrator and Editor drag readers
deeper into the dark history and even darker future of Automata. When the
subterranean god emerges with his postlapsarian blueprint, so will the truth
about B.L.A. and G.B. Gabbler. Ideal for fans of Scott Hawkin’s The Library at
Mount Char, Jo Walton’s The Just City, and all the way to Homer’s The Odyssey,
THE PRE-PROGRAMMING is a literary outrage that dares you to keep reading
between the lines and the footnotes.

About
the Authors:
BLA and GB Gabbler [really just a
pen name – singular] are the Editor and Narrator behind the Circo del Herrero
series. THE AUTOMATION, vol. 1 of the series, is a mythpunk novel that puts a
postmodern spin on how we interpret myth and literature. Gabbler’s work
typically explores ways in which robots and religion intersect. You can read
more of their work on the Fanzine. Their second volume, THE PRE-PROGRAMMING, is
scheduled for release in 2018. You can read the first volume for free.
