I just finished Heart of Steel (A Novel of the Iron Seas) by Meljean Brook. All I can say is that I hope that I won't have to wait too long for the next installment. This is a terrific adventure in both the physical sense and the spiritual. Yasmeen is a tough, smart, mercenary, and captain of her own air-ship the Corsair. Archimedes is an adventurer, treasure hunter, and a romantic. The last time they met, he tried to take over her air-ship and she threw him overboard into a canal in Venice, sur

Meljean Brook’s Heart of Steel is a straight-up adventure. Daring escapes, explosions, zombies, treasure hunting and one man’s quest to fall in love with the woman with a heart of steel.

I liked this book much more than I did the first installment, The Iron Duke. Mostly because Yasmeen and Archimedes are much better character. This book is steampunk and as such, is ridiculous beyond belief, but if you manage to suspend disbelief for a few hundred pages, it's very entertaining.
I remember being at Wondercon in 2008 at seeing the stand where they were selling the steampunk paraphernalia and thinking it was so cool, but I never though it would be such a movement.
