In this original steampunk trilogy, KW Jeter implements the propriety of the Victorian gentleman in his main character. George Dower is moral, upstanding, economical, and dutiful. Having inherited his estranged father’s clock shop, he minds it faithfully, though his skills with clockwork are extremely lacking, especially when compared to his father’s genius at geared mechanicals. But the junior Mr Dower is to receive much elucidation of the true depth of his father’s ingenuity, which achieved not only mania but also a dalliance into highly questionable moral conduct. The story contains a cast of characters and a collection of themes that create a delightful explore that drags a proper Victorian gentleman into the shocking underbelly of anarchy, myth, debauchery, and all that wonderful hope 19th century technological advancement promised.
