Ilustration During Books Blood in the Skies (The Hellfire Chronicles #1)
G.D. Falksen's steampunk epic launches with Blood In The Skies.In 1908, the world ended in fire.
Humanity, always bad at following orders, refused to die. Now, two hundred years later, what remains is divided between civilized order and lawless frontier. For the citizens of the Commonwealth, the brave pilots of the Air Force are all that stand between them and the dreaded pirate lords of the Badlands. For generations, the two forces have struggled back and forth in an endless cycle of invasion and reprisal. Now that is about to change, and flying ace Elizabeth Steele is about to find herself dragged into a web of intrigue aimed at the downfall of the civilized world.
Nothing that a clever girl with a trusty aeroplane and a charming spy at her side can't handle.

The great thing about this book is not only is it loaded with great art (something rare to find in a non YA novel) but it read like I was watching some great classic action adventure film. I highly suggest this book and look forward to the next book in the series.I got for the holidays the two album sound track for this book as a great gift. My father did not even know that the music was for this book when he got it for me. I then felt I had to get the book as I already loved the music based around it. This book is great, much like the other reviews you read it feels like your reading a great action film. I really did not mean to read this book all in one sitting but I could not put it down. So be warned this book might rob a night of sleep if you read
It started off with a bang and continued with nearly non-stop action. It was an easy enough read, but the story really lost me with the almost entirely unnecessary walking corpses. It was at that point where I basically just started wishing that the book would end already.I have read much worse book, and I did find this one enjoyable enough. I just could have done without the corpses. Ghosts and poltergeists would have been just as effective and much more interesting than what essentially
A little confusing and slow to start of with, and still a lot that seems a little out of place and unexplained, but it is book one in a series. In the end I very much enjoyed it and I look forward to the sequel.
Dreadful, unreadable mess. While the author is an amiable courteous man, and an impeccable gentleman, he is sadly lacking in grasping the basic tools of writing. The action is trite and unskilled, and the book was so bad I could not finish it. I found this tragic as Mr. Falksen has been held up as something to be emulated in Steampunk.
Falksen is such a confident author, he just dumps the reader right into the action, and expects her to catch up. It's a bit breathless, but certainly an exciting approach to story telling.I really enjoyed this: Great rollicking steampunk adventure. And not only that - great rollicking, post-apocalyptic, steampunk adventure!Wing Commander Steele is a good heroine - gung-ho, but not without emotion - certainly one that I would like to spend time with again. The world set-up is interesting, it took
I'm not sure why I just 'liked" this book. There was good world-building, there were lots of strong female characters and I liked the relationship between the two main characters. But there was something missing.
