My Review of Aethernaut Chronicles by JB Murphy

This book is a classic example of what is known as the “steam punk” genre.  It is completely packed with copious layers of extreme action that are spun around elements of the metaphysical and an intricate scaffold of inter-relating characters that all culminate in a master plot.  There was never a lull in this book!

The characters were extremely visceral; they provoked emotions in a wide range from repulsion to endearment.

I found the choice to incorporate fictional facsimiles of actual historical characters interesting.  These “real life” characters did serve to keep a fantastic story grounded in the realm of plausible.
