More About This Book

Overview

Maria Isabella Boyd's success as a Confederate spy has made her too famous for further espionage work, and now her employment options are slim. Exiled, widowed, and on the brink of poverty...she reluctantly goes to work for the Pinkerton National Detective Agency in Chicago.

Adding insult to injury, her first big assignment is commissioned by the Union Army. In short, a federally sponsored transport dirigible is being violently pursued across the Rockies and Uncle Sam isn't pleased. The Clementine is carrying a top secret load of military essentials--essentials which must be delivered to Louisville, Kentucky, without delay.

Intelligence suggests that the unrelenting pursuer is a runaway slave who's been wanted by authorities on both sides of the Mason-Dixon for fifteen years. In that time, Captain Croggon Beauregard Hainey has felonied his way back and forth across the continent, leaving a trail of broken banks, stolen war machines, and illegally distributed weaponry from sea to shining sea.

And now it s Maria's job to go get him.

He's dangerous quarry and she's a dangerous woman, but when forces conspire against them both, they take a chance and form an alliance. She joins his crew, and he uses her connections. She follows his orders. He takes her advice.

And somebody, somewhere, is going to rue the day he crossed either one of them.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Piracy meets politics head-on in this steampunk thriller, loosely linked to Priest's much-lauded Boneshaker (2009). Maria Isabella Boyd, a notorious former actress and Confederate spy, is on her first mission for the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. The airship Clementine must deliver its cargo unimpeded, but its former owner, escaped slave-turned-air pirate Croggon Hainey, is determined to recover the ship he stole fair and square. A simple pursuit quickly evolves, and soon Maria and Croggon are forced to fight on the same side. Explosive battle scenes, riveting action, and a sharp-eyed examination of the mistrust between Croggon's all-black crew and very white, very Southern Maria play out in a desperate race against the clock. Though the unflinching portrayal of complex race relations is aimed at adult readers, Priest's swashbuckling tale is also quite accessible for older teens. (June)

    Dreadnought (Clockwork Century Series #3)

    Good filler if you've read the other Clockwork Century books

    While far from a terrible story, I really felt this one was lacking in the epic adventure and edge of your seat thrill and excitement that marked Boneshaker and Dreadnought. Both of those two kept me excited and unable to put the book down, while I felt Clementine was more rushed and not as gripping. It was fun to see more of the pirate crew that showed up very briefly in Boneshaker, but I felt the heroine in this book was far more lacking in development.

    Enjoyed it

    I've enjoyed the stand alone style of the books. You aren't stuck just following one view of characters. A great read.

    Excellent!

    Just finished and loved every part. Cherie Priest has the wonderful ability to draw you into her stories. All along I could visualize what was happening, every scene came to life in my imagination. Just bought numbers 3 and 4 so I can continue the saga!
