Boneshaker (The Clockwork Century #1) by Cherie Priest. I must admit that it was the cover art that attracted me to this one!  |
I finished reading
Boneshaker yesterday. It was very intrestingly set in an alternate reality paralleling ours but with quite interesting differences. This reality was also quite different form the one where
Tales of the Ketty Jay take place. I liked it a lot!
Next on my Steam Punk familiarization reading plan prior to the release of
The Aeronaut's Windlass I'm going to be reading...
Steampunk Holmes: Legacy of the Nautilus by P.C. Martin.
Quote:
In an alternative Steampunk universe (c.1885), the plans for Captain Nemo's mysterious Nautilus submarine have been stolen from the British Secret Service. There is only one man who can solve the case, Sherlock Holmes. With his bionic side-kick Doctor Watson, and his brilliant and lethal sister, Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock unravels a mystery that will shake the foundation of the British Empire.
Adapted by P.C. Martin from the short story, 'The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (c.1912), 'Steampunk Holmes' is a convergence of one of Doyle's favorite Sherlock Holmes stories with Jules Vern 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea' (c.1870)
