This book started off great but got a bit bogged down in the middle. There just seemed to be too many things going on at once. I plowed through it and overall, I liked it.

One thing I will say, though, for anyone out there who plays/played RPGs, the whole book reads like a [u]Spirit of The Century[/u] campaign set in the 1800's. I could almost hear the players hitting their aspects and using Fate points.

A fun read. I'm not generally crazy about alternate history (I teach history), but this was an engaging Steampunk mystery.

Another steam punk adventure with some interesting twists. I audio booked this one, and quite liked the narrator's voice; a variety of english accents and quite distinguishable characters.

This book was a lot of fun. The alternate history of Sir Richard Burton, steampunk, and a great cast of characters. I look forward to reading the next one.
