He can repair anything…except
her heart
About The Book: Lionel Pike, a self-taught repairman, is known
throughout the city of Buffalo as a wizard for restoring what most have simply
kicked to the curb—both human and automatons. He’s a loner, and likes it that
way, until the lovely Sofia Gregory enters his shop and asks the impossible. Or
so he believes. Soon she offers the impossible, something he must fight to keep—along
with his heart and his life.
Our Review: The Buffalo Steampunk Adventures have long
been a favorite of ours for a number of reasons. Author Strickland’s uncanny
ability to create period dialogue, including accents and colloquialisms which go
along with the Victorian period of the Niagara Frontier in Western New York. Another
strength of this series are the cleverly worded analogies of automaton rights
to those current struggles for human rights throughout our nation and the world.
This is a beautiful study of those who care versus those who use simply for
their own gain. Brava!
On a scale of 1-5, Steam Tinker
deserves an 8.
