http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Warlord_of_the_Air
The Warlord of the Air is a 1971 British alternate history science fiction novel written by Michael Moorcock. It concerns the adventures of Oswald Bastable, an Edwardian-era soldier stationed in India, and his adventures in an alternate universe wherein the First World War never happened. It is part of Moorcock's 'A Nomad of the Time Streams' trilogy and, in both its use of technology extrapolated from the Edwardian era (such as airships) and a cod-Victorian / Edwardian era writing style, is generally considered a precursor to steampunk fiction.[1] The novel was first published by Ace Books as part of their Ace Science Fiction Specials series.

Ice/Ice Blaster. Dedication to concept is an ugly thing.
Claws/WP Brute. Sex without the angst.
Every CoX character lies somewhere on this spectrum.
yep, it's definitely monday, and steampunk booster day. But above all that, I get my new video card today . Can't wait to see how much further I can push the power of my pc. Only hard part is the wait for UPS to deliver it. Can't wait to see it in action once I get it and swap out my old one with the new one.

Also, steam hurts books by saturating them with moisture and causing them to buckle and warp and stick together beyond hope of opening.

Since the Steampunk pack is out it's time for another Rookery from the past future! Or... future past? Hmmm...
*Pulls a big brass lever with lots of clicking ratchets! The robots are replaced by steam powered automatons. A loud whistle sounds and they begin flipping pamcakes, serving donuts, bacon and coffee.*
