You may recall that Penguin UK were releasing a 10 part Steampunk novel, and indeed some of you may have recieved your first part today, but for the rest of us – either still waiting, or unable to enjoy this retrospective experiment with publishing, there is the online interactive fiction (IF) game to play. Play as one of two of the main characters listed in the book – either the distressed but determined Miss Temple, or as the dangerous hunter who may now be hunted, Cardinal Chang. I’ve not played it much yet – for I fear it may contain spoilers. But I doubt it will be a long game, and has probably been created to generate more interest in the book/s.
For those who cannot, or chose not to get the 10 part series of books, I believe that a single hardback edition of the book is also available for $26, 978-0-385-34035-9 (0-386-34035-4) from Bantam Books, or as an audio book from Simon & Schuster.
