About this listen
1881 - Special Agent Gillian Hamilton is a magic caster with the Federal Bureau of Magic and Steam. He’s sent to Shallow Grave, Arizona, to arrest a madman engineer known as Tinkerer, who’s responsible for blowing up half of Baltimore. Gillian has handled some of the worst criminals in the Bureau’s history, so this assignment shouldn’t be a problem. But even he’s taken aback by a run-in with the country’s most infamous outlaw, Gunner the Deadly.
Gunner is also stalking Shallow Grave in search of Tinkerer, who will stop at nothing to take control of the town’s silver mines. Neither Gillian nor Gunner are willing to let Tinkerer hurt more innocent people, so they agree to a very temporary partnership.
If facing illegal magic, Gatling gun contraptions, and a wild engineer in America’s frontier wasn’t enough trouble for a city boy, Gillian must also come to terms with the reality that he’s rather fond of his partner. But even if they live through this adventure, Gillian fears there’s no chance for love between a special agent and outlaw.
Based on the short story, "Gunner the Deadly." Entirely revised, newly expanded, and book one in the exciting new steampunk series, Magic & Steam.

Magic, romance, and steampunk!
Magic caster Gillian Hamilton is a special agent with the Federal Bureau of Magic and Steam. He’s on the trail of Milo Ferguson (aka Tinkerer) an evil engineering genius. During a confrontation with Ferguson, he forms an uneasy alliance with another wanted man, Gunner the Deadly, who also wants to take down Ferguson. In the days that follow, Gillian starts to appreciate Gunner’s redeeming qualities as well as his personal ones. There were a lot of absorbing action scenes packed into this short steampunk story (94 pp; 2.5 audio hrs) and I loved the mix of gadgetry and magic. I felt a little at sea at first trying to absorb the worldbuilding but quickly adjusted. It’s set in 1881, I didn’t mind but I didn’t get a sense of that from the dialogue, which seemed more up to date. Given its short length, this was almost a taster. With so much happening I didn’t feel I got to appreciate the characters much, so I’m pleased the next in the series is a full-length novel. Audio narrator Declan Winters was excellent.
