The Revenant Express by George Mann

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.
