The town of Northfall, Minnesota, will never be the same. Meteors cratered hardwood forests and annihilated homes, and among the wreckage a new metal was discovered. This “omnimetal” has properties that make it world-changing as an energy source…and a weapon. John Frontier returns for his sister’s wedding to find his family embroiled in a cutthroat war to control mineral rights and mining operations. His father rightly suspects foreign leaders and competing corporations of sabotage, but the greatest threat to his legacy might be the US government.

The Ninth Metal
Reviewed: 10-24-24
My first time reading a Benjamin Percy novel, and was hooked from beginning to end. Wild West meets the 21st century...loved all the characters, even the bad guys and gals, and a sucker for flawed, dark, broken hero's, like John Frontier...Yesno was also a favourite, as was John's ruthless sister, Talia. Loved the underlying themes concerning family, love, loss, redemption...and also greed, darkness, crouched, in the human heart...Way cool story, top notch narrator, looking forward to the next book in the series...I so love a good story, Percy tells a helluva good one! Yet another awesome writer to add to my list, Yay!
