Praise for THE GHOST ENGINE
"Theresa Fuller primes The Ghost Engine with vivid description to transport readers on a steam punk journey into a dangerous world with her defiant heroine in this audacious challenge to Victorian oppression laced with historical insight." - Gregory Lamberson, author of Johnny Gruesome and Black Creek
“The Ghost Engine is a non-stop thrill ride fueled by adventure and suspense. Readers will find themselves captured by a magical world where the concepts of humanity and AI become blurred and reality loses its meaning. This one will have you turning the pages faster and faster to keep up.” – JG Faherty, author of The Cure, Ghosts of Coronado Bay, and The Burning Time.
The Ghost Engine is a sharp and intriguing re-imagining of the Ada Lovelace/Charles Babbage Analytical Engine. The writer takes us on a fantastical journey into the heart of the Engine, and the societal struggles of women at that time. - Amanda J Spedding, two-time Australian Shadows Award winner (short fiction; graphic novel).
