Summary

1881 - Special Agent Gillian Hamilton is a magic caster with the Federal Bureau of Magic and Steam. He’s sent to Shallow Grave, Arizona, to arrest a madman engineer known as Tinkerer, who’s responsible for blowing up half of Baltimore. Gillian has handled some of the worst criminals in the Bureau’s history, so this assignment shouldn’t be a problem. But even he’s taken aback by a run-in with the country’s most infamous outlaw, Gunner the Deadly. 

Gunner is also stalking Shallow Grave in search of Tinkerer, who will stop at nothing to take control of the town’s silver mines. Neither Gillian nor Gunner are willing to let Tinkerer hurt more innocent people, so they agree to a very temporary partnership. 

If facing illegal magic, Gatling gun contraptions, and a wild engineer in America’s frontier wasn’t enough trouble for a city boy, Gillian must also come to terms with the reality that he’s rather fond of his partner. But even if they live through this adventure, Gillian fears there’s no chance for love between a special agent and outlaw. 

Based on the short story, "Gunner the Deadly." Entirely revised, newly expanded, and book one in the exciting new steampunk series, Magic & Steam.

Magic, steam, and what a madman can do.

An excellent story, sufficient technical detail of the magic and steam interactions creates convincing background. Good descriptions, engaging characters, plenty of excitement. The gradually developing relationship between the two men, and the final scene in the hospital, culminating in the revelation of Constantine’s name, is noth moving and effective. I’m looking forward to the follow up.

Great start to the series!

5 Stars!

This short audiobook was the perfect way to whet the reader's appetite for more of this series. I already can't wait to find out more about Gunner and Gillian and see who they'll be facing next when they meet again in this thrilling steampunk series. 

The story was action-packed and engaging and Gunner and Gillian not only had a lot of chemistry, but were amazing in their own right. 

Declan Winters is a new-to-me narrator, but I can't assure you this won't be the last audiobook I'll get with him performing. He did a great job with the story and with Gillian, Gunner, and the nefarious Tinkerer. Highly recommendable!
