Wow. A sweeping, powerful and well-researched alternative history of the decline of the British Empire. Driven by a fascinating near-alchemical magic system, flawed and lovable main characters and an engrossing plot line, Babel is a poignant telling of the often brutal necessities of righteous revolution.
