Questions of class warfare and a decadent, elite lifestyle dominate this steampunk thriller set on a neo-Victorian city-ship. When Colbert Porpentine encounters the lowliest members of onboard society, he grapples with their dehumanization and his own family's oppressive legacy. The quick action rolls revolution, fleeting romance, and sibling rivalry into a page-turning adventure that leaves room for sequels.
