The crisp dialogue between Tweed and Nightingale (The Lazarus Machine), romantically entangled teenage secret Ministry agents, is this second volume's stand-out feature. A tangled mystery springing from Nikola Tesla's murder is set in a steampunk world filled with airships, deathrays, an unknown race dwelling below the earth, and plenty of action, albeit of the interesting rather than plausible sort.
