In which we meet our other hero… of a sort. Brick is the son of the local town smith, Jeck–and as we’ve learned in the first chapter, his relationship with his best friend Cora has, well, changed some.

This is also our first foray into Professor’s workshop, and the introduction of some of the more steampunk elements in this novel. I don’t purport to be a genius when it comes to describing the actual technical aspects, but this is a novel “in progress” after all.

So take a moment, sit back and listen.
