Cover Crazy #4

Cover Crazy is a weekly meme hosted at The Book Worms and gives you the chance to show off your favourite covers:)

Wow, it has been AGES since I have done a cover crazy. But I am fixing that now :)

Evil is most assuredly afoot—and Britain’s fate rests in the hands of an alluring renegade . . . and a librarian. 
These are dark days indeed in Victoria’s England. Londoners are vanishing, then reappearing, washing up as corpses on the banks of the Thames, drained of blood and bone. Yet the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences—the Crown’s clandestine organization whose bailiwick is the strange and unsettling—will not allow its agents to investigate. Fearless and exceedingly lovely Eliza D. Braun, however, with her bulletproof corset and a disturbing fondness for dynamite, refuses to let the matter rest . . . and she’s prepared to drag her timorous new partner, Wellington Books, along with her into the perilous fray. 
For a malevolent brotherhood is operating in the deepening London shadows, intent upon the enslavement of all Britons. And Books and Braun—he with his encyclopedic brain and she with her remarkable devices—must get to the twisted roots of a most nefarious plot . . . or see England fall to the Phoenix!

I fell in love with this cover when I saw it. I will admit that I am painfully ignorant of Steampunk...stuff (another little thing I am working on - honest - so watch this space) But I fell in love with this cover when I saw it. I just think it is brilliant that the lady on the front is the one ready to shoot you while the guy is drinking tea. Haha. Love it! And let us not forget to mention the trademark goggles.

  1. That cover reminds me of Wild WIld West for some reason.

    But it's cool! I like the bronze colors on it!
