I just finished reading Steamed by Katie MacAlister.I've been a big fan of Katie's for years. She writes quirky science fiction / fantasy romances (among other things). I did get a little burnt-out on her vampire books after awhile (mostly because I lost track of what order the books were supposed to have, so got the plotlines tangled).
I was super excited to see Steamed on the store shelves because it's a whole new premise -- not a vampire in sight. The hero, Jack Fletcher, is a modern day computer technician. His sister comes to visit him at work and disrupts one of his nanoelectrical system experiments, which ends up sending them both into an alternate, steampunk version of 2010. Jack and his sister end up unconscious in the cargo hold of a steam-powered Aerocorps airship being flown by Captain Octavia Pye. As one might imagine, mix-ups, hilarity, and romance ensue. You can find out more about the book by clicking the link on the title above (goes to Katie's webpage).
Bottom Line: I loved this book. It may not be for you if you don't like romance novels (or sex scenes), but is a very fun read that may be an easy introduction to a new (for me) type of science fiction.
I picked this one up at Target good to know it's a good read I never have read her books but I'll have to keep my eye open...Thanks for the review!
