Even Aliens Love Steampunk… Which is why the Aloff created Steamworld. Those born on the playworld go about their lives not realizing they are camera fodder for the Bugeyes. But there are those who were kidnapped from Earth, those who know, those who try to make Steamworld a better place: Lady Thistle and Sir Bult - Steam Table Knights who are charged with solving a string of bank robberies where one of the criminals is a mechanical dragon. Lil Repute - former lady of the evening turned adventurer working to solve the disappearance of three streetcorner girls not important enough for the authorities to search for. Colonel Reginald Windglass and the Skyrovers - retired general and former commander of the Albion Empire's military forces, leads a group of irregulars against slaver sky pirates. And last, but certainly not least, especially in his own mind - Jackson Grimstone, the Spellpunk - On Earth, Grimstone had been a school teacher. The aloff forcibly separated him from his daughter. To try and get her back, he has become the greatest rogue the city of Thames has ever seen. If a would-be Jack the Ripper, a murderous voodoo practitioner, or a war between the Sisters of the Order of the Red Hood and a race of manwolves need stopping, there is nobody better for the job than the Spellpunk. "Red Riding Hoods on steam cycles hunting wolfmen! Mechanical dragons robbing banks! Mad scientists stitching bodies together! Patrick Thomas takes you to a thrilling new world of steampunk adventure in these six must-read retro-futuristic tales." -David Lee Summers, author of the Clockwork Legion series. "Well-told tale in an interesting world." - Sam Tomaino, SFRevu
Autorenporträt
There's been a debate among certain obscure and drunken literary scholars about whether PATRICK THOMAS was raised by Cthulhu or a leprechaun in a Manhattan bar. What there is no arguing about is that Patrick is the award-winning author of 50+ books including the beloved fantasy humor Murphy's Lore series, the darkly hilarious Dear Cthulhu advice empire, as well as the Bikini Jones adventure books. Patrick pens the Hexcraft and Terrorbelle urban fantasy series, co-writes the Mystic Investigators paranormal mystery series, and is the creator of the Agents of the Abyss. Dear Cthulhu has expanded from magazines and books to broadcast monthly on the radio show Destinies: The Voice of Science Fiction. Over 100 of his stories have been published in magazines and anthologies. A number of his books were part of the props department of the CSI television show and Nightcaps was even thrown at a suspect's head. His urban fantasy Fairy With A Gun at one point had been optioned for film and TV by Laurence Fishburne's Cinema Gypsy Productions. Top Men Productions turned his Soul For Hire Story, Act of Contrition, into a short film. DPH Games is releasing a card game based on his 142nd Starborne military SF stories. As Patrick T. Fibbs, he writes middle readers including the Babe B. Bear Mysteries, The Undead Kid Diaries, Joy Reaper Checks Out, the YA Emotional Support Nightmare, and the Fushia The Mermaid and the Ughabooz picture books for younger kids.
