1906. San Francisco lay in ruins, the earthquake has passed leaving behind a burning city. Marshal Faust must find his way through the flames of the dying city, and past the demented patients of Saint Agnews Psychiatric Ward in the hopes of finding his son... and all the while the great brass golem lurks in the shadows seeking his creator.
Unique major character with a bit of The Lone Ranger and Walker, Texas Ranger mixed together. I enjoyed the character introductions, the connections between them, and their various reasons for being in San Francisco. Story unfolds in a very imaginative way as the author develops great word pictures!
