THE PRINCE AND HIS PILOT, THE REGENT’S DEVICES, Book 2, by Shelley Adina & R.E. Scott, A Regency Steampunk

 

1819 Truo, Cornwall & France!

Adventure, adventure, and more adventure. Lovejoy Penhale and Celeste La Blanchard can’t seem to get a break—and neither can Captain Arthur Trevelyan of Gwynn Place or his friend Emory Thorndyke of Trevithick Steam Works. This second novel in THE REGENT’S DEVICES series is difficult to put down! I love the strength and intelligence they all show when handling what I deem impossible situations!

Wintzen, La Croix, and Toussaint keep the tension high as they make Celeste and Loveday’s goals more difficult—if not edging on impossible! I enjoyed the glimpses of the Emperor, for Napoleon Bonaparte is a wild card for sure! The mix of actual history, fiction, and interesting characters is thrilling to me!

THE PRINCE'S PILOT was given to me for an honest review. It is my second Steampunk adventure to read. What a well-written and finely plotted story, sweetly romantic, and engaging to read. Shelley Adina and R.E. Scott absolutely shine brightly on the pages. Keep inventing such unforgettable characters and plots! This kind of story is the stuff that writers dream of writing and readers love to read!

These authors gave an excellent interview for book 1, THE EMPEROR’S AERONAUT, which I posted on 5/15/2022. I ask you to take a glimpse!

Amir Tsarfati and Steve Yohn join forces to write a thrilling suspense that will bring you right into the tensions of the Middle East. I’ve never shared a novel like this with you, but if you take a chance on reading OPERATION JOKTAN, I’m sure you will not be sorry. 

This intense story plot has skillful heroes and heroines who equal those of Mission Impossible and 007. Israelites, South Africans, Iranians, Iraqis, Kurds, and Palestinians are among those who make this story exciting and unique. Travel, high stakes, and national security make this a re-read for me. Tensions are high throughout and kept me on the edge of my seat as Nir Tavor and Nicole le Roux face challenges and personal struggles that would make lesser men and women crumble. 

Well done, Amir Tsarfati and Steve Yohn, for you held my interest and concern for the characters while they burrowed their way into my heart. I had to keep reading to find out what would happen next! 

If you like stories of courage and sacrifice that make you think on more than one level--OPERATION JOKTAN is the story for you!
