Mark Hodder will challenge your ideas about steampunk. He writes like Charles Dickens shaken awake by quantum theory or Jules Verne on acid. This is an amazingly satisfying adventure shot through with stunning science, merciless satire, and a genuinely touching story of human impermanence.
CLAY AND SUSAN GRIFFITH, authors of the Vampire Empire series and the Crown & Key series
Hodder s writing evokesthe haunting tone andsensibilities of an earlierage, asseen through the eyes of an old soul. I highly recommend following these adventures of Sir Richard Francis Burton.
