Praise for The Society of Steam:
"If Stan Lee had lived in the 1880s, this is the book he would have written βsteampunk superheroes. Filled with larger than life characters, cliffhanger action, and ingenious gadgets so richly realized you'll feel the steam hissing from them, at its heart, it's a two-fisted meditation on the mythic glories of heroism and the tragic frailties of the heroes themselves." -- Clay & Susan Griffith, authors of The Greyfriar (Vampire Empire, Book 1)
"Andrew P. Mayer's The Falling Machine enjoys the promise of a glorious conceit that the book delivers on steampunk superheroes in Gilded Age New York City. The first of Mayer's Society of Steam trilogy, this book offers cocked-eyed adventure and the high camp of steampunk wrapped around a story of moral choice, family loyalty and the ultimate question of who gets to be counted as a person. A ripping yarn that strikes all the right notes, The Falling Machine will delight and entertain you." --Jay Lake, Campbell Award winning author of Mainspring and Green
