*Starred Review* Captain Octavia Pye is surprised to find an
unconscious, oddly-dressed man and an equally unusually clad woman
aboard her airship. There’s evil afoot in her world, and Octavia
wonders if these two are pirates or secret agents. After an
explosion in his lab, Dr. Jack Fletcher is shocked to wake up
beside his sister in a Victorian airship, complete with a
no-nonsense captain and crew, all of whom are outfitted in late
nineteenth-century fashion. Jack thinks he has gone back in time;
instead he’s astounded to learn that it’s the same day as the
explosion. Caught in a parallel universe where technology is still
at the steam engine stage, Jack finds himself pulled between a
longing for home and an increasingly stronger desire for the
intrepid Octavia. MacAlister hits it out of the park with this
highly entertaining steampunk fantasy. There’s danger, adventure,
romance, and lots of humorous moments as Jack and Octavia discover
that the laws of love always trump the laws of physics. --Shelley
