Gregory Conan Watts has been hired to prove the impossible. To do so, he's expected to assemble a crew that includes war heroes, carnies, respectable women, and one wilderness scout who may or may not be entirely insane. They’ll have the best of 1815 technology: a state-of-the-art airship and the steam-powered battle suit that almost single-handedly brought down Napoleon’s alliance. Finding vast uncharted wonders Gregory's not even sure are there sounded complicated enough; he wasn’t expecting natural disasters, outright sabotage ... or another war. Dawn of Steam: First Light is an alt-history/emergent Steampunk epistolary novel.
