In sixteenth century Prague, two infamous English alchemists consult with a series of mysterious and dangerous spirits. John Dee longs to rediscover the first, lost language of man from these messengers; but Edward Kelly is slowly coming unhinged at the violent visions he suffers while contacting the entities. Dee believes they speak to angels. Kelly is not so sure, and soon the spirits demand release from the safe confines of the scrying table. Led by a black-cowled heart thief known as the Onyx Monk, they seek to awaken a power greater than themselves. While Dee and Kelly consort with otherworldly powers, the Forest Oaf of Atlantis awaits dissection by the eyeless ghoul known as the Mad Astronomer. The Oaf wishes to escape to his homeland, but his only hope is a dissolute and drunken gambler stranded in Prague. In the loud markets, among petty thieves and snakeoil salesmen, the gambler plots the Oaf's escape with the help of an unlikely alchemical captive of the Emperor, the Red Lion. Meanwhile, a young former monk rebels against his abbot. Beaten, hunted, he escapes the monastery. He is soon pulled into the designs of Dee and Kelly as he tries to reveal the truth behind the angelic incantations. A beautiful and troubled apothecary, Ewa, aids his recovery after his escape. The two form an alliance and affection for each other, but a jealous Kelly stands in their way. One man at court—Dr. Hayek, court physician and secret minister of the supernatural in Prague—tries to understand the murdering demons in the streets at night and the appearance of escaped gryphons, basilisks and other creatures thought mythical. With his only friend, an intelligent homunculus who can't remember his past or purpose, he struggles to solve the mystery of the Mad Astronomer and stop the demonic forces at play in restless Prague. The 49th Call is set among the palace chambers, castle alchemical kitchens, and dangerous city streets of Prague during the height of its glory. Following an epic cast of characters, in the midst of court intrigue, infernal plots, and a city beset by floods and supernatural forces, these different characters meet and must find a way to save Prague from the dark power of the 49th Call.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Masterful wordcraft. An epic journey. By Michael Capuano Justin Blair has a masterful grasp of the English language. His wordcraft transports the reader to 16th century Prague so completely that it tricks the senses. The way he intertwines historical accuracy with fantasy is spellbinding. Captivating to the last word, follow John Dee, Edward Kelley, and a hyper-imaginative cast of characters through an epic tale of alchemy, magic, and the mysteries of the supernatural.

The way the setting and action are introduced really grabbed my imagination, and I remained fascinated by the subject (dark arts) long after leaving the page. It's obvious Mr. Blair spent considerable time researching the history, customs, and language of this era. A sticky, satisfying read.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Funny! Although it's a historical fantasy By Kent Roberts Funny! Although it's a historical fantasy, this book is reminiscent at times of Vonnegut, Heller, Bukowski, and Henry Miller. Blair is a fantastic storyteller. There is quite a bit of development before you get to the major action, but that's part of what makes the plot so powerful. He does a great job painting the inner psychology of various diverse characters. But really I go back to sense of humor. Think about it ... Like those authors I list above, that humor range is critical to creating a good read. Highly recommended.
