This is only good for you if you enjoy the style of writing from 100 years ago. This reads like a Jules Verne novel (in writing style, not in quality) and that is not a compliment.
Jules Verne is known for his wonderful tales, but the writing style from his time was so wordy while saying nothing. This reads like someone that spent too much time reading Verne so that he could write his own coined term, "Steampunk". This novel was published in 2013. Speech can be indicative of the time period, but not the exposition. The boredom of this novel makes me never desire to read a Jeter novel again - ever.
Again, if you like the older style writing, this might be enjoyable for you, but 25% in and i couldn't care less about anything in this book, and I felt like i was covered in the dust of a long bygone age.
