City of the Saints by D.J. Butler

4.0

Steampunk meets the Mormons.

Orson Pratt as mad scientist. Eliza R. Snow as secret agent. Brigham Young as his leonine self. And the usual assortment of airships, phlogiston guns, clockwork cavalry, ultrasonic remote-controlled Seth beasts, intrigue and action.

This book is self-published, so there are a lot of typos and infelicities (there's a contract with a publisher, and minor revisions are underway) but what a ride!
