I really, really wanted to like this anthology a lot more than I did. The concept is great: steampunk on other worlds. Based on the cover by author Peter J. Wacks--and who hasn't bought a book because of a great cover?-- and a conversation with editor Sam Knight at MALCON in Denver this summer, I was looking for edgy off-planet steampunk. What I got was mostly soft YA with very uneven writing. "Keeping It Fresh" by R. Joseph Maas and Sam Knight's "Crystalline Clouds" were by far the best of the bunch. I'd love to see a second volume from Villainous Press that takes it to the next level.

Pretty entertaining set of stories featuring a combination of steampunk and scifi elements. Nice to have a signed copy too :-)
