âBear pumps fresh energy in the steampunk genre with a light touch on the gadgetry and a vivid sense of place . . . Karen and the ladies kick ass.â âLibrary Journal (starred review)
Set in the late nineteenth centuryâwhen the city we now call Seattle Underground was the whole town (and still on the surface), when airships plied the trade routes, would-be gold miners were heading to the gold fields of Alaska, and steam-powered mechanicals stalked the waterfront, Karen Memery (âlike memory only spelt with an eâ) is a young woman on her own, making the best of her orphaned state by working in Madame Damnableâs high-quality bordello. Through Karenâs eyes we get to know the other girls in the houseâa resourceful groupâand the poor and the powerful of the town. Trouble erupts one night when a badly injured girl arrives at their door, begging for sanctuary, followed by the man who holds her indenture, and who has a machine that can take over anyoneâs mind and control their actions. And as if that wasnât bad enough, the next night brings a body dumped in their rubbish heapâa streetwalker who has been brutally murdered.
Bear brings alive this Jack-the-Ripper yarn of the old west with a light touch in Karenâs own memorable voice, and a mesmerizing evocation of classic steam-powered science.
â[A] rollicking, suspenseful, and sentimental steampunk novel . . . [Karenâs] story is a timeless one: a woman doing what is needed to get by while dreaming and fighting for great things to come.â âPublishers Weekly
