Kratman, Tom & others

The story is often long-winded, with bursts of explosive action and political intrigue peppered in, and many characters lack development. However, this alternate history employs vibrant steampunk vibes and aptly captures the uncertainties of the tumultuous era, as well as the courageous desperation of the world-weary men and women involved. Fans of detailed and technical military fiction will enjoy this, as well as those who appreciate real historical figures as characters.
