The Stranger's Woes: The Labyrinths of Echo: Book Two
Autor Max Freien Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 iun 2012
If it weren't for bad luck, Max Frei wouldn't have any luck at all.
A self-described twenty-something 'classic loser', an insomniac, hardened smoker, a glutton and a loafer, there's nothing much going for Max Frei ... at least not until he arrives in the magical city of Echo. Summoned to the city by the head of the Department of Absolute Order, Sir Juffin Halli, Max's dreams are becoming a reality. But as with all dreams-come-true its not quite the reality Max expected; he's about to become a secret agent, tasked to solve extravagant, impossible crimes with nothing but his wits and a handful of unexplained magical abilities to recommend him.
Max is going to be thrown into the fray - and he can't even have a cigarette first ...

Recenzii
Max Frei is a multi-million copy selling Russian literary sensation. Intriguing, original, remarkable and wry, THE STRANGER novels are a piece of absolute enchantment.
'Fans of Jasper Fforde and Susanna Clarke will happily jump into Frei's world' USA TODAY
'The Stranger's Woes is another wildly imaginative and entertaining entry in The Labyrinths of Echo' FANTASY BOOK CRITIC
THE LABYRINTHS OF ECHO BOOK TWO
Max Frei is a dreamer.
But sooner.
Or later.
We. All. Wake. Up
And that's exactly what's about to happen to him . . .
Max used to be a useless loafer, whose dreams were the most interesting thing about him - at least, until he was summoned to the magical city of Echo. Since then he's become one of the highest-paid agents in the war to keep order on the city streets, whether that means facing down tentacled monsters or hunting down bands of mercenaries on the outskirts of Echo. Solving extravagant, impossible magical crimes using nothing but his wits and a handful of magical abilities is Max's stock in trade. And he loves it.
But some problems are tougher to solve than others. When Echo is threatened by a new danger, it seems the only solution lies in the world Max has left behind: our world. But it is really an answer, or is Max's old life trying to lure him away from Echo? And if it does, will he ever be able to get back . . . ?
