ReviewPraise for The Society of Steam:"If Stan Lee had lived in the 1880s, this is the book he would have written—steampunk superheroes. Filled with larger than life characters, cliffhanger action, and ingenious gadgets so richly realized you'll feel the steam hissing from them, at its heart, it's a two-fisted meditation on the mythic glories of heroism and the tragic frailties of the heroes themselves." -- Clay & Susan Griffith, authors of The Greyfriar (Vampire Empire, Book 1)"Andrew P. Mayer's The Falling Machine enjoys the promise of a glorious conceit that the book delivers on steampunk superheroes in Gilded Age New York City. The first of Mayer's Society of Steam trilogy, this book offers cocked-eyed adventure and the high camp of steampunk wrapped around a story of moral choice, family loyalty and the ultimate question of who gets to be counted as a person. A ripping yarn that strikes all the right notes, The Falling Machine will delight and entertain you." --Jay Lake, Campbell Award winning author of Mainspring and GreenAbout the AuthorWhen he's not crafting stories, Andrew Mayer works as a video-game designer and digital entertainment consultant.

EDITORIAL REVIEW: WHAT HAPPENS IN THE ELEVATOR STAYS IN THE ELEVATOR In the pitch blackness, trapped between floors, Peter Reynolds had almost convinced himself that the woman in the suddenly too-cramped-for-comfort elevator car was *not* off-limits...and that the desperate passion they shared would *not* change everything. But then the lights came on, and Peter knew that he'd crossed more than one line. For Lucy Grainger was his secretary...and now, quite possibly, pregnant. If Peter were any other man, Lucy would make the perfect wife and mother to his children. But he was not the marrying kind for reasons Lucy could never understand. Yet, if that were true, why was he secretly hoping that the stick turned blue? Views: 16
