Characterization was king. ( ) Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. Dang. This short story was my introduction to Coorlim's world of Sherlock-and-Watson characters in a steampunk setting, and it was awesome. Brisk, focused writing filled with quirky characters in a fascinatingly re-imagined world -- I want more. (James is my favorite. More James, please.)A finished copy of this book was provided to me by the author through the Librarything Member Giveaway Program. Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. This was an intriguing short story. I liked the premise, as well as the personality of the main characters. It would be interesting to read a novel with these characters. Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. This is a nice, quick read and serves well as a (very short) introduction to the two protagonists, an engineer and a slightly flippant, well, whatever Bartleby is. Of course, this is a short story at best and I would have wished it to be a bit longer but it's certainly entertaining even though it felt a bit like fast food - good but it leaves a tad bit to be desired and a slightly guilty pleasure. I might buy a complete anthology of James and Bartleby but certainly not individual stories - there's just not enough substance to justify that if all stories are as short as this one. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Galvanic Century is set in an alternate steampunk world where the reign of Queen Victoria has extended well into the early 20th century. As the world edges inexorably towards a World War that few can even begin to anticipate, brave men and women must contend with airship pirates, clockwork assassins, galvanic monsters, and anarchist madmen. In their debut adventure, London is in the grip of an unstoppable assassin known only as the Spider, and consulting detectives James Wainwright and Alton Bartleby have been commissioned to catch her. Can the surly inventor and savvy gentleman track her down and stop her string of murders, or will Queen Victoria be her next victim? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
