About this ebook

Building Her Majesty’s new airship for the Engineers World Gathering is no small matter. Especially when a groundbreaking discovery is at stake, and dark secrets are lurking in the shadows.

In a Neo-Victorian London of mechanical horses and aerial gondotrams, airship engineer Jasper Kendall Asher has a bright future ahead as the youngest member of the Engineers Order and a secret agent in Her Majesty’s service. But a terrible accident brutally changes the course of his career, sending him instead to a dull life as a mechanic among the poor of St. Giles.

Three years later, unusual circumstances give him the opportunity to return into service as the main engineer for the Queen’s new airship—and a chance to uncover the truth behind the unfortunate event that changed his life.

Along with an outlandish woman navigator, a reckless female agent, and his taciturn brother, Jasper resumes his work. From his workbench, to London’s airharbour, to remote Scottish villages, he follows the trail of a scientific discovery that promises to reveal much darker plots than he initially imagined in his search for answers.

I've enjoyed reading this book very much for several reasons: fine writing, greatly crafted language which brings back to life the Victorian atmosphere, relatable characters and an organic story development. The writer takes us through the narrative with a sure hand, carefully building suspense and crafting detailed descriptions and atmospheric scenes. I've read this novel during the winter holidays and I barely could stop for a break from time to time - it was the greatest Christmas gift I gave myself last year. I can't wait to buy the second and third parts of this trilogy, and I'm sure I will spend plenty of enjoyable hours in their company as well.
