Roger and Dodger are constructs and
one has the power of language while the other numbers; they have been made by
an alchemist who are trying to reset the universe and unfortunately (or perhaps
fortunately) things are not going according to plan. The story begins at the
end and the reader has to catch up quick to figure out what is going on but
once you do, what a ride!

Penumbra’s 24 Hour Book Store, by Robin Sloan, Lexicon,
