Tor vient d'acquérir une trilogie de steampunk signée David Barnett, ayant déjà écrit et publié trois romans et un recueil de nouvelles et également journaliste.
Hero of the Empire, le premier tome de cette trilogie, met en scène un jeune homme, Gideon Smith, qui doit faire face à des problèmes aussi bien naturels que surnaturels pendant l'époque victorienne.
Voici ce que l'auteur en dit :
"The Gideon Smith books were born out of a desire to write something which combined the rip-roaring adventure that Victorian writers did so well with the sensibilities of a modern novel. I think it was watching my two young children rapt in front of Raiders of the Lost Ark which made me want to try to create something that even approached inspiring such jaw-dropping attention… but at the same time questioned the concept of the 'hero', from the point of view of the heroes themselves and the public who worship them."
