4.0 out of 5 stars An adequate steampunk collection. 29 Aug 2012
By J. Mcdonald TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Briefly; there are 30 short stories running to 485 pages; for authors and titles see the "look inside" option on the product page.
This is a slightly thinner volume than the "Mammoth" anthologies I`ve previously perused, but it's not a bad little collection; all the usual clichés are present and correct; alternative historical worlds, goggles, airships, strong female characters - and a few lesbians (not complaining, mind) - automatons and scientists all featured in various combinations and permutations.
There are no real stand-outs here; there are a couple of stories that are a little tenuous for the Steampunk category, about three stories I found dull and uninspired, but largely I found it to be an enjoyable collection, quite a reasonable introduction to the genre if you haven`t already discovered it.
Not great literature, but entertaining, amusing, often well-researched or just plain daft; that description could of course apply to any science fiction collection, but this is the Steampunk variety. Worth a shot at its current price.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good sample across the range 16 Dec 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you are into Steampunk, you should like this collection, I'm about half way through and like to dip in to it as the mood takes me.
Some of the story's are a good read some are not so good and can be a bit strange.
