The Gaslight Bandits

Book excerpt: A little Old West, some Science Fiction, A bit Victorian Steampunk, a touch of Mystery and Romance, and a whole lot of Fun! When the law comes knocking at her door, sixteen-year-old Francis Dominique answers with a strength and resilience born of tragedy. After her father killed her mother, Francis was left with the responsibility of caring for her two younger sisters in the wild and untamed colony of St. Antoni. To make ends meet, Francis takes a job as the receptionist to the Enforcers, St. Antoni's elite law enforcement bureau, and finds herself unexpectedly drafted into an investigation of the outlaws robbing the trains connecting St. Antoni's City States. But when her father escapes from the Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and a lawyer with a custody writ arrives with intentions to take her sisters away, Francis must prove her strength and courage in order to protect her family and catch the outlaws. If you enjoyed the combination of western, science fiction, steampunk, mystery, and romance elements in books like The Wild West Adventures of Annie Oakley by Steven A. Stanko, you'll love the thrilling adventure and emotional depth The Gaslight Bandits.
