The Engineer

Magic & Steam, Book 1

De: C.S. Poe

Narrado por: Declan Winters

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.

Cool Concept

This was a cool concept I'm excited to hear more. The characters were engaging and fleshed out.

Wonderful

Listening to the audio is just as if not better than reading it. The narrator did an excellent job. Loved the story.

Exciting Story Great Narrative

I enjoyed it a lot. It is a break from my usual venue. Narration performance very good.

Imaginative and captivatng.

The engrossing story made me forget this wasn't a full length novel. Great characters, wonderful narration.

Great little novella. Looking Forward to Series

Great two-hour listen with fantastic world-building and characters. I have not enjoyed a mm fantasy/scifi/romance this much in ages. Narration is spot on. Likeable, fully realized protagonists. Nice lead-in to followup books.

This book has it all: airships, cowboys, saloons, and handsome gruff hairy heroes.
