Clarity of Cold Steel is a clear winner
"Kevin Wright's The Clarity of Cold Steel is an excellent addition to his catalog and one where he has really upped his game. It is reminiscent of Robert B. Parker's Spenser if Spenser was a Hindu detective in a post apocalyptic steampunk milieu. If you are reading something other than this book then you have chosen poorly. Get your copy on order, read it, and love it. It is great stuff."
New twist to Steampunk
"Amazing world creation, characters who perfectly inhabit such a world, and a detective plot that keeps the pages turning. This is a steampunk world like no other. Unlike many that draw heavily on Victorian England, this one draws on India and other cultures, The detective is resourceful, talented, tough, and with a rough past that colors his actions. Well done. Mr. Wright is a talented plotmaster who knows how to pull all the threads together. It's a good read."
A fresh take on detective noir
"Kevin Wright has found a way to one up his medieval fantasy detective noir "Lords of Asylum." Post apocalyptic steampunk Hindu detective noir. Wright has crafted a brilliant new setting and populated it with fresh takes on standard characters. The world of Mortise Locke is unique and well developed, with just enough familiar notes that it's easy to get to grips with, and marvel at the new twists. Wise cracking sleuth Avinash Shakteel squares off with a rogues gallery of fascinating villains, informants and uneasy allies as he struggles to unravel the case of a young man's disappearance. Black market organ trade, corrupt policemen, underground knife fighters, hired assassins and worse await our hero. Can he rise --or perhaps stoop-- to the challenge?"
