This author really nailed everything that is good about the Steampunk genre - every page is just overflowing with that cool alternative industrial imagery. Plus, he's even combined dystopian themes into Steampunk: a winning combination that I hope to see more of in the future.This is a great continuation of the first part of Nightmare City - it is scary, suspenseful, fantastic, mysterious, and just absolutely overloaded with excitement. The book is one of the best page-turners I have read in years. It's so fast-paced, but it's still deep enough that it's more memorable than just cheap thrillsThe characters are realistic, the plot is intriguing, and the world that the author has created is uncommonly well-developed. Everything about this book leads me to believe that the author has put a lot of thought and a lot of hard work into it, and it really shows. I highly recommend this book to just about anyone, but fans of dystopian fiction and steampunk will find it especially amazing.
