Being the only female air corps captain on an international
route can be difficult enough to do with the normal rigors
of piloting while having one's mettle tested by the crew,
but the discovery of two unconscious stowaways creates its
own problems.
When Captain Octavia Pye learns that her "guests" believe
they were thrown into her world through some sort of
nanoelectrical accident, she is hard-pressed to ensure Jack
Fletcher and his sister Hallie are not as crazy as they
sound. Despite negotiating the eccentric character traits
of her crew and three or four double- and triple-crosses
within the political system, Octavia still feels a strong
fondness toward Jack, which she's never felt toward her few
previous liaisons.
Katie MacAlister, author of THE LAST OF THE RED-HOT
VAMPIRES, is charting new territory with her foray into a
new perspective on Steampunk.
The hero of STEAMED is Jack Fletcher, a computer
engineer. When one of his nanoelectromechanical system
experiments explodes, the impact sends him hurtling into
the world of his favorite novel - a Victorian-era world of
steampower, aether guns, corsets and goggles. And a world
where he meets the lovely, red-haired, airship captain
Octavia Pye.
