5.0 out of 5 stars Go Steampunk! June 6, 2012

By Steven Abercrombie

Format:Paperback

I bought my copy at Mobicon, and met Kimberly Richardson (the editor), and Allan Gilbreath (one of the authors). Wonderful experience! Each of the stories has its own voice, and each could appear in another themed anthology, under the guise of mystery, military, inspirational. etc. All are interesting in their own right, and I will be ordering the second volume and the third when it becomes available. Good reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection, loved it June 2, 2011

By clipaclip

Format:Kindle Edition

I had to buy a copy after borrowing it from a friend. I loved Missa Dixon's "For the Love of Steam", and Zimmer's "Mountain Skies". The story lines all moved with purpose and the characters had depth. I have been accused of being a grammar stickler and didn't see any typos or errors. It is a great read and looks good on the Kindle.

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent collection of steampunk shorts March 29, 2011

By N. Reed

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I needed to get into the Steampunk mindset for a game I was running and this collection of shorts helped get the feeling right for myself and my players. Like in any anthology you get winners and losers, but this one was definatley more winners than losers.
