Robert Rogers (Wellington Books) replied to Ryan Gunwitch-Black's discussion What's your favorite steampunk novel?"Hi, there. My favorite, so far, are two I've just read entitled A Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences: Phoenix Rising and The Janus Affair by Pip Ballantine/Tee Morris. It's set in London and features two protagonists: Wellington Books and…"
Josiah Bancroft replied to Ryan Gunwitch-Black's discussion What's your favorite steampunk novel?"Well said. I'm very interested in the themes of the genre. I like the threads of environmentalism/industrialization and social inequality that steampunk likes to pull and worry. The fashion of the movement is glorious, don't get me wrong,…"
CoastConFan replied to Ryan Gunwitch-Black's discussion What's your favorite steampunk novel?"I have to agree; the importance of the historical and social commentary far outweighs the gizmos and action. Then again in my opinion, a good grounding in history is pretty much necessary to make an informed reading of many steampunk novels…"
Josiah Bancroft replied to Ryan Gunwitch-Black's discussion What's your favorite steampunk novel?"I really enjoy the steampunk novels that emphasize the victorian societal and political aspects, like Gibson's the Difference Engine or Pullman's His Dark Materials series."
Major Girth replied to Ryan Gunwitch-Black's discussion What's your favorite steampunk novel?"Give mine a tryhttp://www.amazon.com/Steam-Powered-Tales-Awesomeness-Vol1/dp/0615721524/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366831511&sr=8-1&keywords=steam+powered+tales+of+awesomeness"
Lady Ye Hua Chen replied to Ryan Gunwitch-Black's discussion What's your favorite steampunk novel?"I'm halfway through the Parasol Protectorate series and am enjoying it very much. I also read Boneshaker and Ganymede, and I absolutely adored the latter. I'm definitely putting people's faves from this thread on my to-read lists!"
Mike P replied to Ryan Gunwitch-Black's discussion What's your favorite steampunk novel?"I'm going to have to vote for Mark Hodder. I am really enjoying his B&S series."
Miss Ernesta May replied to Ryan Gunwitch-Black's discussion What's your favorite steampunk novel?"Well i'm a vociferous reader myself
Gail Carriger and Kate Locke have to be up there for their blend of Supernatural with Steampunk,
I enjoyed Meljean Brook's first novel and short stories but not so much the second and third.
Stephen Hunt…"
CPT Edward Leviticus replied to Ryan Gunwitch-Black's discussion What's your favorite steampunk novel?"I would consider Steven King's Drak Topwer series Steampunk, I have enjoyed it imensely."
CoastConFan replied to Ryan Gunwitch-Black's discussion What's your favorite steampunk novel?"The steampunk moniker is a pretty good label for this latter day neo-Victorian, post-Vernian type of science fiction, particularly when there is social commentary attached, in further defining this genre. By the mid 70s it became clear…"
Asher Davian replied to Ryan Gunwitch-Black's discussion What's your favorite steampunk novel?"Both Morlock Nights and Infernal Devices by KW Jeter are good, but I think the quintessential Steampunk author is Blaylock. The St. Ives adventures are what the word 'steampunk' was coined for."
Marcel Alexander replied to Ryan Gunwitch-Black's discussion What's your favorite steampunk novel?"I loved that entire series. I'm looking forward to the next one!"
CoastConFan replied to Ryan Gunwitch-Black's discussion What's your favorite steampunk novel?"Excellent! Along that line was a book I enjoyed greatly when it was new, is Science Fiction by Gaslight: A History and Anthology of Science Fiction in the Popular Magazines, 1981-1911 by Moskowitz, 1974. alas now a hard to find book."
Justin Kace replied to Ryan Gunwitch-Black's discussion What's your favorite steampunk novel?"Speaking of "older" works, Barnes & Noble has a low-priced hardbound book titled "Steampunk:Extraordinay Tales of Victorian Futurism". edited by Mike Ashley. These tales, 14 in all, were all written in the 1899s or early…"
