Free Book: Agatha H and the Airship City (K)
Free on Amazon.com from Nightshade Books:
Agatha H and the Airship City by Phil & Kaja Foglio - Starred PW Review The Hugo Award-winning Foglios (Girl Genius) present the first three volumes of their popular gaslight fantasy comic in novelized form, maintaining the zany energy, witty repartee, creative characterization, and innovative world-building of the original. Agatha Clay is a university lab assistant in a world filled with madboy scientists, dangerous automata, and not quite human soldiers with silly Germanic accents. She soon finds herself a pawn in political power struggles when her locket is stolen and she is taken hostage on the airship of the powerful Baron Klaus Wulfenbach. While trying to stay alive long enough to discover the truth, she begins to discover her personal history and genius talents of her own...

Sigh (to self) ...guess I gotta work on that user name - or avatar.
Anyway, she says "thanks for the fix!" Any tips on a thread where I can learn how to do the cool links? Last edited by mitford13; 03-01-2012 at 01:24 PM. |

And not available for me at all. Shame that, it sounds like a book I'd like.

If you can't get the free copy at Amazon right now and don't want to buy their $7.99 version (why they list two Kindle entries I don't know). Baen has been selling this for over a year for $6 DRM free. That is where I bought it long ago.

I've read this in paper and it was OK. My brief thoughts on it are posted on MR somewhere.
However, the audio I am told is much better. And the graphic novel also. |

Just go straight to the webcomics, which this is novelized from anyway.
Girl Genius is one of my personal favourites (I have some of the original issues from before they switched to web publication and buy the GN collections) and it's a really fun look at a world run on mad scientist antics. The official motto of Transylvania Polygnostic University is "Know Enough to Be Afraid", a sentiment which I heartily endorse as a guiding principle. And if you decide to pick up the novel version later, it's cheapest (and DRM-free MultiFormat) over at Baen, which usually has the best prices for Night Shade's stuff at $6 compared to the 9.99 list/7.99 discount that most places have them, and they should be able to sell worldwide. |
