Product Description

Product Description

Book Four of Series One.

Fresh from their adventures on Mercury, Nathanial Stone and his ward, Annabelle Somerset, are limping through the aether in a dilapidated flyer when they unwittingly stumble upon a heliograph station in solar orbit between Earth and Mars.

Now in the sinister clutches of Dr Henry van den Bosch, a hulking nightmare of a man with a penchant for destroying those who cross him, Nathanial must race against time to prevent the station from falling into a massive aether vortex or risk van den Bosch's wrath.

But unseen forces hold sway on Peregrine Station, and before the two can even settle in, an attempt is made on Nathanial's life. Annabelle investigates, and in doing so sets off a chain of events that could destroy the station before it ever reaches the vortex.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stylish Steampunk 29 Nov 2012
By A. F. Stewart - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Abattoir in the Aether by L. Joseph Shosty is very fine sci-fi space adventure, served up in a smart steampunk style. It was an enjoyable read, a lovely mix of fantasy, steampunk and science fiction blended to distinction.

The book is the fourth in the Space: 1889 & Beyond series,(each book penned by a different author), but is written so you can read it as a stand-alone book (although after reading this one, I am quite curious about the rest of the series). It continues the adventures of Nathanial Stone and Annabelle Somerset -beginning with the rescue of their crippled space flyer- as they become the slightly unwilling guests on a heliograph station in solar orbit between Earth and Mars. The pair must unearth the sinister secrets of this place, before they, the station and all its inhabitants are sucked into an aether space vortex.

I thoroughly delighted in reading this book. The author took anachronistic history and Victorian science fiction and created a fascinating and full-blown steampunk setting that makes its own perfect fictional bubble of reality. Add to that some wonderfully interesting characters, very Victorian villains, a well-rendered plot full of nice twists and a great ending, it leaves you with a splendid novel. I highly recommend Abattoir in the Aether to any fans of steampunk, or anyone who likes a great read.
5.0 out of 5 stars Mystery in the Aether 16 Mar 2012

Abattoir in the Aether continues the wonderful story of Nathanial and Annabelle as they journey from Mercury towards Mars. This is the fourth in the series and an excellent example of why I enjoy reading them so much. The characterizations are excellent, there is a good and unpredictable mystery and a good deal of action and excitement along the way.

Even more so than the last story, I could not get enough and can't wait for Prince of Mars!
