HEART OF STEEL by Meljean Brook
Captain Corsair, steel-hearted leader of the airship Lady Corsair, has met her match. Or has she?
When we last saw Archimedes Fox, he was back-stroking though a Viennese canal in a quest to avoid deadly and dangerous zombies. Why? Well, he'd done the unforgivable. He'd come aboard the Lady Corsair and waved a gun around, trying to commandeer the ship and crew. Dork. And with a pistol full of wet powder too! Well, what's a captain to do but toss the moron overboard? So, Yasmeen did, and set off to friendlier ports...well, friendlier ports for folks like Yasmeen. Pirates. Privateers. Yeah, those folks. Imagine her surprise when later a very much alive Archimedes Fox takes her prisoner. Fur is ready to fly then, to be sure!
And fly it does. HEART OF STEEL is a hot ride down the Steampunk universe of Brook's recent creation. Haven't been there? You're missing out! In this story, however, we are introduced to Yasmeen's unique genetics, and how they matter to the rulership of The Hoard. Awe-some!!! Seat of your pants stuff! From an assassination attempt, during salvage operations in zombie infested ruins, to a coup in the Middle East, Meljean Brook doesn't let up. I couldn't put it down!
One grump, however, from me--and it doesn't take away from the strength of the book. Yasmeen is quite the femdom, no matter how hard author Brook tries to soften her up. She's a ball-buster and Archimedes is the Beta Male, content to back her up. Not my favorite flavor, but none the less a delicious read!
Don't miss out in The Iron Seas books! You'll regret it!
