steam punk loses its fire


written in stone brian switek another dinosaur book that avoids the usual mezozoic talent and discusses the archaeocestors of birds, whales, horses, elephant and hominids well researched and readable
fifty plants that changed the world a gardeners theme book illustated and coffee table of the stories behind chilli beans to coconuts rose to rubber cotton to coriander
breakheart pass fast moving disposal of villains on a wild west train action the way read this and understand why alistair maclean still in print

dark sun a pax britania victorian future history book by jonathan green the usual steampunk adventure this tine set on the moon reminded me in many ways of the 1969 movie Moon zero two without the steampunk clunkering read like an average amazing stories magazine story of the 1930s characters simply action figures the usual steampunk pudding of victorian fantasy gothic and true life victorian fiction heroes doing their usual thing ie cavorite powered apollo XIII , clarke bradbury and asimov as pioneers of space flight
with nazis, time travel and and giant robots thrown in passes the time but one of many
