Frank Chadwick is best known as a game designer, especially for Space 1889. The Forever Engine is a novel set in that universe but not, as far as I know, based on a particular game script. It is steampunk without magic but with some convenient exceptions to the normal laws of physics. Protagonist Jack Fargo is an ex-U. S. special forces soldier from 2018, who now teaches ancient history. An old buddy calls on him to examine an unusual Roman coin, ostensibly found at a high-tech weapons research facility. He discovers that the coin does not match our history. An explosion at the site propels him into a version of 1888 England where there is already a colony on Mars and dirigibles use an antigravity material called “liftwood.” British intelligence sends him with a small team to thwart a high-tech weapon being developed by an unstable genius in the mountains of Serbia. Characters are more nuanced than are usual in the genre, and the steampunk plot is plausible if one accepts its premises. 4 stars.… (mais)
