Steampunk

Steam-powered airships soar over Victorian cities where brass automatons walk cobblestone streets and ladies conceal clockwork daggers beneath their corsets. In this alternate vision of the industrial age, science meshes with sorcery as heroes and rogues navigate a world where anything is possible through the power of steam, gears, and human ingenuity.

Highly recommended!! Fantastic service. Perfect for those that want a little more than a teaser but not all the intricate details of a full audio book.
