Brandon Sanderson’s The Complete Alcatraz is
a 750-page omnibus volume, collecting the four Alcatraz novels, due from Gollancz at £16.99.
“On his thirteenth birthday, Alcatraz – a foster
child – get a bag of sand in the mail which purports to be his 'inheritance'
sent from his father and mother. The Librarians, of course, immediately steal
the bag of sand from him.
This sparks a chain of events which leads
Alcatraz to realize that his family is part of a group of freedom fighters who
resist the Evil Librarians – the secret cult who actually rule the world.
Alcatraz's grandfather shows up and tows him off to infiltrate the downtown
library to steal back the mystical bag of sand. The ensuing story involves
talking dinosaurs, sentient romance novels, and a dungeon-like labyrinth hiding
beneath the innocent-looking downtown library.”
