The Vitruvian Mask - The Roboticist of Versailles Book 2

1881: The electric lights of Paris have been extinguished.

The Naturalist revolution is over. Adelaide was on the losing side. Once the Royal Scientist Doctor for the now-dead cyborg monarchs of France, she’s now a fugitive, hiding from the new king’s Police Sécrète.

Pregnant and alone, she seeks refuge in a Parisian hospital but things have changed there too. What was once a cathedral of Science is now a bastion of ignorance and superstition.

The battlefield veterans whose Augmented prosthetics she once created are shunned by the new regime and come to the hospital for her help. But her nemesis, the father of her child, has returned to France and threatens to reveal her illegal activities to the authorities.

Can Adelaide repair her Augmented patients without losing her freedom… or her life?

An age old question: nature vs. science. How far is too far in terms of technology? I was completely drawn into this story & this alternate world of 1800’s Paris. I drew many similarities to our problems today regarding power, science, & two conflicting visions for a more perfect country. Kudos to the author for creating a vivid picture & compelling story arc.

I couldn’t put this book down. Best was the slow reveal and character development with subtle love you’ll yearn for the next book to have unfold. Fascinating exploration of dichotomies in a world that could be around the corner for us….

…full of story, heart wrenching moments, and glorious character beats… it tells a steampunk tale, albeit one set in a post-steampunk world where technology has been banned.
