Product Description

Product Description

A vaguely steampunk adventure, set in the fictional city of Vertigo. The Resistance is pitted against the shadowy Weimar Corporation that runs the City. Their stalemate is broken by the death of a suspected infiltrator, setting Resistance Commander Liss Hunt and her bewildered companion Philip Wiseman on a journey into the depths of both organisations to discover the truth behind who - or what - is really running the City. Featuring automatons, mad scientists, chases, a gun-toting heroine and even the Living Dead, The First Tale is a short novella that proves people are not always what they seem.

4.0 out of 5 stars An intriguing setting begs for more 23 Aug 2012

This is a fun short story with vivid characters and an intriguing setting. I enjoy the prose style and was hooked within the first few minutes. It has a cool steampunky type setting and a slight cold war feel to it (though in a much lighter tone than that might suggest). I can definitely see future stories in this world, and I can highly recommend picking up this fun tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Robots, Revolvers and Revolution, OH MY! 19 April 2011

In the First Tale, we follow Phillip Wiseman, newcomer to Vertigo City's resistance--an organization bent on toppling the tyrannous Weimar Corporation. We discover, through Phillip this shady underworld he's entered filled with secret agents, corrupt police, wise-cracking automatons and the alluring mysterious Liss Hunt.

Sedgwick paints a glorious world that's as fully immersive as any seedy backstreet featured in a Sherlock Holmes mystery. The characters sparkle with clever dialogue, thrilling action sequences, and a plot full of twists and turns. It ultimately left me eagerly awaiting the Second Tale and any that might follow. Stamp my ticket, I'm ready to go back to Vertigo City
