The Darling Undesirables
The Darling Undesirables Blythe Ayne
The Darling Undesirables takes place in a post steampunk world where dark energy has been harnessed by a reclusive genius, “Father Inventor” – revered by many, reviled by more.
Energy problems solved, humanity is obsessed with unlocking the secrets to eternal life. Unrestricted experimentation has produced a population of parentless, deformed children, the Darling Undesirables. Named for their missing body part, each Darling Undesirable is pampered and indulged, with the most charming—or physically haunting—becoming popular media pets.
Fifteen-year-old Heart, the world’s favorite darling, dreams of escaping with her friend, Eye, and her beloved clockworks horse. But first she must save her father, Father Inventor, and the world he brought into being from the evil forces of The Purists.

Cogling: A Steampunk Fairy Tale Jordan Elizabeth
When fifteen-year-old Edna Mather tears an expensive and unfamiliar pocket watch off her little brother’s neck, he crumbles into a pile of cogs right before her eyes. Horrified, Edna flees for help, but encounters Ike, a thief who attempts to steal the watch before he realizes what it is: a device to power Coglings—clockwork changelings left in place of stolen children who have been forced to work in factories.

I have to admit that I'm a little biased when it comes to Andrew's work (I'm honoured to call him a friend). However, when I say that his stuff is some of the freakiest, weirdest and most far-out comics around I mean that from the heart.
If you like space creatures, bright colours and cool story lines then Andrew is your man and the GalaXafreaks are your comic.

A pilot stranded on a faraway planet. An alien seeking symbiosis. Can one marine, perhaps the last hope in the face of a rising alien menace, save the human colonies from subjugation? A Star Wars meets Alien SF thriller.
Writing about martial skills that no longer exist is always a challenge, and Chris Turner pulls it off with his swordplay descriptions. Nice when characters have depth, showing different personalities.

Big screen material! This talented author brings the reader into a new world where adventure awaits at every turn. The descriptions are well though out, the characters pop off of the page. Don't miss this one!
Monticelli's original Italian has been translated to English for her Red Desert series, giving a charming flavor to the prose. Her characters are 3d, and her hard sci-fi setting is researched impeccably. Novella-length book one, "Point of no return," serves as an introduction, constructing the hooks that power future volumes and ramping up the tension and mystery.
