Praise for Michael Coorlim's Steampunk Omnibus:
"I will continue to enjoy Mr. Coorlim's work and look forward to my next reading adventure."
"I love when collections of short stories work well together and they meld so well in this work! Little pieces build up throughout until there is this huge reveal that once you find out about it you feel silly for not realizing it previously."
"I absolutely have to brag on the fact that this is PURE steampunk... There are no aliens or fantasy creatures... Aside from the pseudoscience there aren't any "magic" or "supernatural" elements to the series."
"Read all together, however, allows one to see how the style, the tone and the pace improves with each novelette. Moreover, the character development can be appreciated more easily when the cycle is read as a whole."
