Her brother was already in London, so he sent for her so that they could start a new life together. Yet, this trilogy is set in 1878 historical London, with heavy steampunk vibes, and murderous machines!

Braynard produced this first volume literaly out of love and the generosity of a few hundred people. Packed with amazing photographs, reproductions of newspaper articles. The first volume takes us from the construction of the VATERLAND to the end of World War One, when the VATERLAND now the U.SS Leviathan was used as a troup transport.

The books were not in great condition but the cover illustrations are still lovely and the text is readable which is a big plus. He does have a distinctive style but there were other cover artists with similar styles. Luckily this was identified on the back cover of the books, because even though I have two books about McGinnis's book covers and art in general, I cannot identify them without help. ![]() ![]() I could not have passed up these books because most of them had covers by Robert McGinnis. Today I concentrate on the Mike Shayne series by Brett Halliday. There were lots of Mike Shayne mysteries and a good number of Perry Mason or Bertha Lam / Donald Cool mysteries.
