DESCRIPTION:

The Iron Horse is a massive steam-powered locomotive manned by a crew of warriors, miscreants, and genetic anomalies. Socrates, the train’s commander, is an autonomous steam-powered gorilla with memories and knowledge reaching back more than a thousand years. Their mission is to locate a new source of starfall, the rare element that powers the ancient city of Sanctuary. Their civilization needs starfall, but for Socrates the matter is personal. Without it, he will die.

After a brief respite on the shores of the Forgotten Sea, the crew readies for their next great adventure. This time, the tracks will take them somewhere entirely different. The only way across the great sea is under it. But as the Iron Horse plunges into the icy waters, something goes wrong. The train has been sabotaged, and to make matters worse, their fuel supply has been stolen.

Trapped at the bottom of the sea, faced with the choice between a slow death by suffocation or a fast one in the crushing black waters, Socrates makes a last ditch effort to save the crew. He believes there is a cavern ahead, if they can only make it that far… But even if they survive, the crew may face an even greater peril from a completely unexpected new enemy.

Book Two: The "Iron Horse" series is a follow up to Sedgwick's best-selling steampunk series, "The Tinkerer's Daughter." A reading of the earlier books is not necessary to enjoy this new series, but may provide added insight to certain characters and history.

Killing the Machine

March 13, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Excellent continuation of the adventures of Socrates, the mechanical ape, River and all the others on board the 'Great Iron Horse'. From a perilous ride underneath 'The Forbidden Sea' to having their Starfall stolen to battling deadly creatures in an ancient city nothing can prepare you for what happens. Mr Sedgwick has again come up with a Steampunk adventure that outdoes the previous book in the series. I'm waiting with baited breath for the 3rd book in the series, great work Jamie!

I love this series! Just finished book 2, now it's on to book 3! As much as I liked The Tinkerer's Daughter series, I think I like Aboard the Great Iron Horse more! I can't wait to find out what happens to River, Socrates, Kale, and Micah along with the rest of the crew! Can't wait until Burk gets what's coming to him! Love the way Jamie Sedgwick writes!!!!!

fun story, not too deep but it has some twists, it flows well though and the characters are fun albeit somewhat unbelievable, but hey, that's the fun of a book, not everything has to be believable right?

Thoroughly enjoyed this sequel and looking forward to reading the third book. Characters are very interesting and I'm hoping to find out more about the origin of Socrates.

An interesting premise and sound follow-through

January 31, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The characters are solid and the background is skillfully woven into the storyline. This is actually more of a 4.5 star book. If you're looking for action-based fantasy, this is a fine choice.
