BOOK: Wings Of Equity - Sean Kennedy

Title: Wings Of Equity
Author: Sean Kennedy
Genre: Steampunk
Publisher: Dreamspinnerpress (2010)
Pages: Paperback, 248
Language: English
Rating: 8/10
Summary: Ezra Kneebone designed his own airship and hopes to build a whole fleet together with his best friend and pilot Jazz. The bounty on the head of a flying Robin Hood, known as Icarus, is just the kind of money they need to get their business started. But when Icarus saves his life, Ezra isn't so sure the man should be in jail, even if Icarus managed to steal... his heart. (hehehehehe)

Spoilerfree Review
A delightful steampunk novel. For those unfamiliar with the term: this means Victorian era elements in a science fiction setting. Kennedy manages to build a marvelous, yet believable world and the discriptions of the flying-machines and actions in the sky are very vivid. The dialogues are sparkling as usual and of course there is plenty of unresolved sexual tension between the men before they figure things out. It was refreshing to have two women in a 'longterm commited relationship' as supporting characters. Loved it.
