Book Club Book of the Month: The Iron Duke by Meljean Brook

The Iron Duke

A Novel of the Iron Seas

by Meljean Brook

After the Iron Duke freed England from Horde control, he instantly became a national hero. Now Rhys Trahaearn has built a merchant empire on the power — and fear — of his name. And when a dead body is dropped from an airship onto his doorstep, bringing Detective Inspector Mina Wentworth into his dangerous world, he intends to make her his next possession.

Mina can’t afford his interest, however. Horde blood runs through her veins, and despite the nanotech enhancing her body, she barely scratches out a living in London society. Becoming Rhys’s lover would destroy both her career and her family, yet the investigation prevents her from avoiding him…and the Iron Duke’s ruthless pursuit makes him difficult to resist.

But when Mina uncovers the victim’s identity, she stumbles upon a conspiracy that threatens the lives of everyone in England. To save them, Mina and Rhys must race across zombie-infested wastelands and treacherous oceans — and Mina discovers the danger is not only to her countrymen as she finds herself tempted to give up everything to the Iron Duke.

YAY! It's finally my turn again to pick a book for our book club and I've been not-so-patiently waiting to read this one. Oh, oh, I have to read the Burning Up anthology too for the companion novella! ALSO, goes great for Steampunkery month, yes? Our meeting will be held on December 12th at ma maison.

Happy Reading!
