The young wife of the most powerful man in Ireland has been kidnapped, and Nate and Gerald must save her—from their own family, if necessary While her husband is away on business, Daisy Wildenstern buys a shape-shifting engimal from the charming adventurer Peter Barnum. The origins of the part-animal, part-machine being are a mystery. Life is cruel in Daisy’s family. Trained from childhood to be merciless predators, the Wildensterns are taught to trust no one—especially not their treacherous relatives. As long as their reputation stays intact, nothing is considered unacceptable on their quest for wealth and power. But Daisy belongs to a new generation of Wildensterns who are determined to defy their elders and live a more honorable life. When Daisy and the engimal go missing, it is of little surprise that most of her family doesn’t seem to care. It’s up to her brother-in-law, Nate, and his cousin Gerald to find Daisy and face her kidnapper, a ruthlessly cunning hunter. With relatives like these, who needs enemies?

Review
Praise for Ancient Appetites
“Combines the rich details of a 19th-century novel with science fiction . . . Impressively imagined . . . A well-plotted and absorbing story.” —The Irish Times
“Nate is an interesting character for readers to champion, and there are plenty of imaginative contraptions and detail for readers to enjoy.” —Write Away! Literary Magazine
“One is well and truly hooked. Unexpected plot twists fill the pages.” —Through the Looking Glass
“We’re in the realm of very imaginative science fiction with this one. . . . Highly recommended.” —Flipside Extra
Praise for The Wisdom of Dead Men
“McGann mixes science, politics and history and raises many moral issues. He manages it all with a wonderful lightness of touch and superb control of an ever-evolving story that grows in complexity with every chapter but somehow never becomes confusing to the reader.” —Inis magazine
“The Wisdom of Dead Men is an explosive fantasy read, set in the Victorian era. It opens with a gripping spontaneous combustion and the action never lets up.” —The Independent
“A rollicking, steampunk adventure . . . I couldn’t put it down.” —The Irish Times

A short, fun intro to the Wildenstern family By Jessica I received a free copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.This was my first experience with the Wildensterns. I was quite taken with the sassy Daisy and her bold brother in law Nate.Daisy reveals a character flaw that sets this tale in motion - the desire to anger her mother in law and for material gain. Had she left the engimal portmanteau alone, she wouldn't have been kidnapped but, if course, we wouldn't have had a story to read.Nate, on the other hand, seems like he will be a pretty clever hero throughout the series. Against the family's wishes, he goes on a full tilt rescue mission to save Daisy - in his underwear.I'm looking forward to finding out more about the family who lives by these rules of advancement within the family:"Number One: The Act of Aggression must be committed by the Aggressor himself and not by any agent or servant.Number Two: The Act must only be committed against a man over the age of sixteen who holds a superior rank in the family to the Aggressor.Number Three: The Act must only be committed for the purpose of advancing one’s position and not out of spite, or because of insult or offense given, or to satisfy a need for revenge for an insult or injury given to a third party.Number Four: All efforts should be made to avoid the deaths of servants while committing the Act. Good servants are hard to find.Number Five: The Target of the Aggression can use any and all means to defend himself, and is under an obligation to do so for the good of the family.Number Six: Retribution against the Aggressor can only be carried out after the Act has been committed. Should the Aggressor fail in his attempt, and subsequently escape to remain at large for a full day, only the Target of the Aggression and no other person will be permitted to take Retribution.Number Seven: No Act of Aggression or Retribution may be witnessed or reported by any member of the public. All family matters must be kept confidential.Number Eight: Any bodies resulting from the Act must be given a proper burial in a cemetery, crypt, catacomb, or funeral pyre approved by the family."

Intricate details are unveiled organically and this little kidnapping caper is quite satisfying from start to end. Although there is nothing in here that can't be missed between novels 1 and 2, it's still a greatly enjoyable read in one of the best world building novels in the urban fantasy genre. Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.
