Synopsis

An exciting new entry into the emerging GameLit genre, Joshua Mason's Steam Whistle Alley is a thrilling tale which explores the possibilities of augmented reality. Everyone on the street that day saw a lunatic wearing strange brass goggles, swinging an invisible sword on the sidewalks of downtown Seattle. But Jacob recognizes what the man is really doing—playing a game in augmented reality. When the game’s creator offers him his own goggles, Jacob enters a city he thinks he knows. But towering monuments of Victorian architecture have replaced the skyscrapers. Airships float between the buildings. Fearsome enemies, from steam-powered rabbits to clockwork werewolves lurk in every shadow. But with the game comes a quest, and to the victors go the deed to Steam Whistle Alley, the social and financial heart of the game. Jacob, his biosynthetic monkey Banjo, and the rest of the team must face off against foes who want the alley for themselves. Some of his adversaries, however, aren’t playing games. They don’t want the alley. They want the company, and the death they bring is not the kind Jacob can respawn from.

À propos de l'auteur

Joshua Mason has done a little bit of a lot of things. He was a Nintendo game play counselor back in its pre-internet heyday. He got a degree in archaeology from the University of Washington, and has been on a few digs, from the round-the-clock daylight of a northern Alaska summer to the remote Spice Islands of Indonesia. He spent four years teaching English in Jakarta, where he met his wife. They now live in Seattle.
