The Peace Machine - Softcover

'A rollicking Ottoman steampunk adventure' Guardian

The Peace Machine is a staggeringly inventive debut from one of the most daring writers in Turkey.

The twentieth century dawns and the world stands on the brink of yet another bloody war. But what if conflict were not inevitable? What if a mind-control machine could exploit the latest developments in electromagnetic science to put an end to violence, for ever?

The search for the answer to these questions leads Celal away from his unassuming life as a writer of erotic fiction, and on a quest across a continent stumbling headlong towards disaster, from Ottoman Istanbul to Paris and Belgrade, as he struggles to uncover the mystery of The Peace Machine before time runs out for humanity.
