Overview

The Industrial Revolution has escalated into all-out warfare. It has been eighteen years since the Heterodyne Boys, benevolent adventurers and inventors, disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Today, Europe is ruled by the Sparks, dynasties of mad scientists ruling over -- and terrorizing -- the hapless population with their bizarre inventions and unchecked power, while the downtrodden dream of the Hetrodynes' return.
At Transylvania Polygnostic University, a pretty, young student named Agatha Clay seems to have nothing but bad luck. Incapable of building anything that actually works, but dedicated to her studies, Agatha seems destined for a lackluster career as a minor lab assistant. But when the University is overthrown by the ruthless tyrant Baron Klaus Wulfenbach, Agatha finds herself a prisoner aboard his massive airship Castle Wulfenbach -- and it begins to look like she might carry a spark of Mad Science after all.

    Becky R. - 6 years ago

    This book was recommended to me by a customer, and I have read the first book and will soon read the second and third. Delightfully entertaining, fans of sci-fi/fantasy, steam-punk, and near-future dystopian will enjoy the wit, giggles, and unexpected twists of this classic story. Agatha's character is amusing, endearing, and relatable. Growing up, she knows she's clumsy and not quite up to the mark as an inventor, but it doesn't stop her from trying to be the best lab assistant possible. Yet, when her school is destroyed and taken over by Baron Klaus Wulfenbach, she learns more about herself, her family, and her true destiny. However, she's going to have to escape in order to finish her quest, and Agatha's just the character to defy the odds and beat the enemy.
