Sinossi
FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE EXCITING, BEST-SELLING STEAMPUNK ALTERNATE HISTORY TRILOGY IS AVAILABLE IN ONE VOLUME — WITH A SPECIAL ADDED BONUS STORY! You only THINK you know what happened at Waterloo. The real story involved more monsters. And a lot more time travel. It’s 1815, and Elizabeth, sitting in a rose garden dreaming of escaping her family’s expectations, receives a mysterious gift: a pocket watch that, when opened, displays scenes from all eras of history. Past…and future. It’s 1815, and Wellington’s badly-outnumbered army stares across the field of Waterloo at Napoleon’s forces. Desperate to hold until reinforcements arrive, Wellington calls upon a race of monsters created by mad Genevese scientist Victor von Frankenstein 25 years before. It’s 1885, and a small band of resistance fighters are resorting to increasingly extreme methods in their efforts to overthrow a steampunk Empire whose clockwork gears are slick with its subjects’ blood. Are these events connected? Oh, come now. That would be telling. Part H.G. Wells, part Jane Austen, part Mary Shelley, and 100% original, KEEPING TIME is a breathtaking roller coaster ride across centuries and continents. In this thrilling, time-twisting adventure trilogy, award-winning author and game designer Heather Albano follows the four-dimensional journeys of a collection of unlikely heroes as they quest in time and space to set things right. What happens when the Law of Unintended Consequences meets the Time-Travel Paradox? NOW INCLUDES THE EXCLUSIVE BONUS STORY, “THE CONVENTION CIRCUIT”! Follow our heroes as they brave one of the strangest gatherings in the whole of history: a twenty-first century science-fiction convention. “Waterloo and time travel are made for each other and Heather Albano has done a wonderful job of giving us a delightful cast of characters, tasked with stitching together the proper nineteenth century while fending off several monstrous alternatives. Propulsive adventure with historical insight.” – Kim Stanley Robinson, Red Mars and 2312
