3 1/2.... really, really, really close to a 4....I received Agamemnon Frost and the House of Death in exchange for a fair and honest review.This is a Steam-punk like I've never read before and I liked it. In Kim Knox's world, Victorian England (and ultimately the world) is invaded by aliens. Their goal is not only to invade and take over, but they turn a select few into their own brand of foot soldiers. It's a pretty scary concept and the action, danger and mystery keep the pages turning.In The House of Death, nothing is as it seems and there are few who can be trusted. Mason is thrust into a world that he knew nothing about. Frost is both the cause of his current situation and the only person who can keep him from becoming totally lost. There is a strong attraction between the two men, and the encounters between them are few, but intense. Yet, they walk a fine line and by the end you're still not quite sure whether Frost is keeping Mason close because of loyalty, guilt, attraction or mistrust... and neither is Mason.I liked the concept and enjoyed the book, but I'm glad that the next book is already released. Too much was left hanging at the end of this one to walk away from it feeling good about where any of the characters were left. My suggestion is that if you read The House of Death, make sure you have Hollow Ships close by.
