Early on I’m exposed to Watts’ intentions to his recipient as well as his intentions on his impending journey and I’m hooked. His quest is exciting and he hasn’t even departed yet. It takes a bit of reading to get into the action but I found a lot of humor in Watts’ observations of the other people surrounding him, which made the read quite fun.

The book is very well spoken and paints a vivid and fun picture for the reader in a style of writing I haven’t before seen which makes it all the more enjoyable for me.
Cook manages to merge futuristic technology with a time behind us – making for a fascinating experience.

A grand adventure in Steampunk. This was my first time reading anything in the Steampunk genre and I must say that this book was a great place to start. The story is told by a series of letters and journal entries which I found quite unique and intriguing. The characters and story are well developed and I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.
