The Thunderbolt Affair | Geoffrey Mandragora

2 posts | 1 to read

"What you will be working on is underhanded, unfair, and damned un-English." 1887 The British Empire is in danger of collapse and teeters on the brink of war with the Kaiser Reich. Spies and saboteurs play at deadly games in the British shipyards as each side seeks naval superiority. Ian Rollins is collateral damage in their shadow war. The "accident" and his grievous injuries are about to bring his naval career to an ignominious end. But with the aid of a former Pinkerton detective, a clandestine agent for the Admiralty, a brace of Serbian savants, and one, mostly sober valet, he might survive. If he can master the skills necessary to command the world's first fully operational combat submarine, the HMS Holland Ram, and protect the secrets of the Thunderbolt. Historical Note. The Fenian Ram, fictionalized for this novel, does exist and is currently on display at the Paterson Museum in Paterson, NJ.

"....At no time did I think it was a good idea to load torpedoes on a newly launched boat of any sort and fire them in the Thames"
???????? This has been a good read so far. Fair example of #steampunk genre fiction.

I love finding indie authors at local festivals (I trawl for them now that I have a bookstore in which to keep their books). I met with a small press I came across last year, met another small press, and THREE new to me indie authors: Patricia Loofburrow, Geoffrey Mandragora, and Andrea Jones. The presses are Monroe St. Press and Line by Lion Publications.
