Cool Steam Punk familiarization...

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)
I really enjoyed Steampunk Holmes: Legacy of the Nautilus!

Next a novella...

Clementine
(The Clockwork Century #1.1) by Cherie Priest.
