The Year of Our War
The fantasy novel ''The Year of Our War'' (2004) is the first book by British author Steph Swainston. It is often given as an example of the New Weird literary genre.
==Plot summary==
The novel is set in the Fourlands, a country in danger of being overrun by large hostile Insects, and follows the exploits of Jant, also called "the Messenger" or "Comet". As a half-breed of two humanoid species Jant is the only person who can fly, which makes him an indispensable part of the Emperor's Circle of about 50 immortals, an elite group of (mostly) warriors who do not age (but, despite the name, are capable of being killed).
Swainston spins an intricate story which covers, among other things, the intrigues among mortals and immortals from the various humanoid races of the Fourlands, a full-scale assault by the Insects (previously held at bay behind an Insect wall), and Jant's exploits in the "Shift", an alternate world which he enters as a side effect of his addiction to a lethal drug.
So far, three sequels has been published: ''No Present Like Time'' (2005), ''The Modern World'' (2007) and ''Above the Snowline'' (2010).
