Charlie Rowcroft meant to be an inventor but mostly she fixes other people's mistakes. Then her new neighbour, socialite archaeologist Justina Fairfax brings a curious find to see if she can reassemble it. After which the chaos begins in earnest, with mad industrialists using mortless (undead) people to power their factories, druids on a traction engine who wish to thwart them, a retired pirate who just wants a quiet life, a stilt-walking dissenting preacher, the arrival of a freak show and other improbable personages and events who emerge as the plot unravels.
What can one say about a story filled with socialite archaeologists, inventors, former pirates, precocious children, Druids and demons? Well, how about pure brilliant storytelling! Ms. Brown has taken a dizzying number of characters and story elements, thrown them together into a bucket, and created an insanely witty tale of all the best things - action, adventure, social commentary...and dead things! -Lee Ann Farruga, co-leader of the Canadian steampunks
