Dawn of Steam: First Light
by Jeffrey Cook & Sarah Symonds
In this alternate-history/ emergent Steampunk epistolary novel, the airship Dame Fortuna and its crew of gentlemen, ladies, and less respectable folk, led by a literal knight in steam-powered armor, has been commissioned to prove the impossible. On their post-Napoleonic-War expedition for vast uncharted wonders, they weren't expecting natural disasters, outright sabotage, or another war.
