Jib Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I've read a little about "Bas Lag". Thought I might try a few other Steampunk novels. What is your favorite and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbead Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Would you be interested in reading the first couple of chapters of one that is "in the works"?

Ransom Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I've read a little about "Bas Lag". Thought I might try a few other Steampunk novels. What is your favorite and why? I've only read one, titled The Dark Volume by Gorden Dahlquist. It was good, but needed editing, because at 400+ pages it was way too long. The story started to drag. I think it would have been better if reduced by about a third, and the story would have moved along better. Just my two-bits worth, though. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.
