Once again I laud Mann for his steampunk descriptions and how his illustrator puts those into his cover work. The train to Russia was both the setting of 50% of the book and wonderous prose on its fittings. Sir Maurice and Amelia travel to St.Petersburg to procure a heart for Veronica. Sir Charles and Veronica in a parallel plot strive to find the cause of a weedy outbreak.
The story seemed a bit fractured with the dual plots that
did eventually bind themselves together.
The power of prose is demonstrated with artistry on the steampunk
hardware and the gruesomeness of the infected.
I enjoyed the book and recommend it.
