    About this audiobook

    Adventure in New Pittsburgh... New Pittsburgh, 1898--a crucible of invention and intrigue. Born from the ashes of devastating fire, flood and earthquake, the city is ruled by the shadow government of The Oligarchy., In the swarming streets, people of a hundred nations drudge to feed the engines of progress, while in the abandoned tunnels beneath the city, supernatural creatures hide from the light, emerging only to feed. Jake Desmet and Rick Brand travel the world to secure treasures and unusual items for the collections of wealthy patrons, accompanied by Jake's cousin, Veronique Le Clerque. But when their latest commission leads to Jake's father's murder, the three friends are drawn into a conspiracy where dark magic, industrial sabotage and the monsters that prey on the night will ultimately threaten not just New Pittsburgh, but the whole world.

      It's a steampunk New Hampshire (the story actually starts in London but things move pretty quickly to America) and the characters are determined to survive and thrive. They have to return because Jake's Father is dead and there is a suggestion that the death wasn't natural. There are also more deaths going on and rumour has it that the mines under the city are producing something unusual that's killing. Jake has to take on a variety of enemies to try to save the city and his friends.It felt like a lot of ideas were thrown at the story but it's quite readable and entertaining.
    • 3/5
      The setting of New Pittsburgh makes use of the history of the Gilded age and mixes some steampunk elements along with some magic to set the stage for this new series. Jake and Rick are friends and heirs to their fathers’ shipping company. Most of the business is above boards but sometimes they retrieve items for their customers that need a delicate and discreet touch. The book opens with one of these assignments ending in a hail of bullets and an airship battle on the way back to America. Jake’s father has been murdered by magic and it quickly comes to light that the killer was looking for a shipment that has gone missing.

      The rest of the story is fast paced and introduces lots of characters that have interesting back stories as well. The story does work in as it goes on how all the different players know one another and the authors also make use of many tidbits of interesting history to flesh out the story as well.

      A good fun read and a nice start to a new series.
