About this listen
The exciting debut of a steampunk masterpiece from legendary game author and creator of the staple steampunk role playing game, Space: 1889. The stunning unveiling of a perfectly formed steampunk past, from an author who helped define the genre.
London 1888. His Majesty's airships troll the sky powered by antigrav liftwood as a cabal of Iron Lords tightens its hold on a Britain choked by the fumes of industry. Mars has been colonized, and clockwork assassins stalk the European corridors of power. And somewhere far to the east, the Old Man of the Mountains plots the end of the world with his Forever Engine.
Enter Jack Fargo. Scholar. Former special forces operator in Afghanistan. A man from our own near future thrust back in time - or to wherever it is that this Brave Victorian World actually exists. Aided only by an elderly Scottish physicist, a young British officer of questionable courage, and a beautiful but mysterious spy for the French Commune, Fargo is a man on a mission: save the future from irrevocable destruction when the Forever Engine is brought to full power and blows this universe, and our own, to smithereens.

Interesting concept but story a bit lame
I found this compelling initially, the story premise was great, the narrator not bad (I dislike the strong American accent but that’s just personal preference)
However it went downhill fast and the long dragged out, over detailed descriptions of battles, chases, and gunfights made it a tough listen. There was just way too much detail about which bullet/gun/wound/angle etc. I didn’t need to know which bullet was being loaded in what order or where. I skipped an awful lot of this to get through to the end. I won’t be reading any more by this author.

interesting plot, good pace and well told
Nikola Tesla was a good guy, or was he? A very enjoyable story well presented.
