Waiting on Wednesday is hosting by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
So where are all of my steampunkers? I am a recent addition to the world of steampunk, but I am gladly jumping on the train. The Falling Machine sounds like a lot of fun; Sarah seems like a spunky heroine with a great deal of heart. For those of you who haven't officially purchased a ticket for the steampunk train, does this sound like something you might be willing to try?
Book: The Falling Machine (Society of Steam #1) by Andrew Mayer
Release Date: May 25th, 2011
Genre: Steampunk
Publisher: PYR
Description: In 1880 women aren’t allowed to vote, much less dress up in a costume and fight crime. But nineteen year-old socialite Sarah Stanton still dreams of becoming a hero. Her opportunity arrives in tragedy when Dennis Darby, the leader of the Society of Paragons—New York’s greatest team of gentlemen adventurers—is murdered right before her eyes. To uncover the truth behind the assassination, Sarah joins forces with Darby's greatest creation; the amazing mechanical man known as The Automaton. Together they begin to unmask a conspiracy at the heart of the Paragons that reveals the world of heroes and high-society is built on a crumbling foundation of greed and lies. But it is only when Sarah comes face to face with the megalomaniacal villain behind the murder that she will discover if she has the courage to sacrifice her life of privilege and truly become the hero she has always wanted to be.
