The Maya Tree: Company Business

by Chris Harte

Since the nickel based heat engines called Ponspacks were invented, the world had changed. Their heat provides steam. Steam powers the world. The war with France is almost over. Jim Maitland, Kes, Marie and Brent start to carve out a new society. The action moves from the heat of Kuching to the cold of Britain and Aotearoa. The Maya trees have raised questions that need to be answered. Business ventures beckon. These are exciting times, times to plan and grow.

About the author

Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.
Please see: Chris Harte


Chris Harte is the author of books set in the Maya worlds.

Steampunk: The Maya Tree is styled as an Edwardian/Victorian adventure story. Unknowns, clubs, new changes, big impacts of technology.

Teal of the Institute is a mix. Part history and fantasy but also an illustration of a society moving from older ways to new and more dangerous times.

Tibar and the mysteries of Surplicity is a prequel. It shows where the worlds come from. It is pure sci-fi with space travel and aliens.

If you want to know where all the 'world building' comes from, read Tibar first. If you want the "slow reveal" then read the Steampunk The Maya tree and Teal of the Institute.

Steampunk The Maya Tree is relaxed in that older style.

Teal of the Institute is more edgy and paced.

Tibar is Utopian political it sets the scene and shows the truth.
