Lorenzo's people have lost everything to the deadly plagues and ancient monsters from the New World. But fencing master Lorenzo Quesada believes an ancient relic can restore his dying country to prosperity and honor, as long as the military doesn't find it first. Meanwhile, brilliant airship engineer Taziri Ohana is on a routine flight when she is shot down by a secret Espani warship, stranding her behind enemy lines with an odd collection of unruly tourists.
Now thrown together by fate, Lorenzo and Taziri race through a gauntlet of vicious assassins, undead demons, and giant beasts to find the fabled Skyfire Stone in the peaks of the frozen mountains. But when the Espani warship sets sail for Marrakesh, Lorenzo must stop a war that could destroy every nation of the Middle Sea, even if it costs him both the stone and his life.
Welcome to the world of AETHERIUM, where wondrous machines sail the seas and the skies, enormous beasts roam the earth, and the restless dead whisper to the living. Similar to our own world in the sixteenth century, AETHERIUM explores a reality in which many of the megafauna did not die out, including terror birds and saber-toothed cats, and where a devastating Ice Age continues to ravage Europe while African queens rule over the most advanced nations in the world. But strangest of all may be the science of controlling the souls of the dead using a golden metal with many names sunsteel, orichalcum, and... AETHERIUM!

Aetherium Book 2 Legend of the Skyfire Stone eBook Joseph Robert Lewis
Loved this book. The story that Lewis began in The Burning Sky continues in The Broken Sword. Some time has passed and not all of the heroes from the first story have returned, however some of the villains have. Lorenzo and Qhora are back to guide us through Lorenzo's homeland Espani. Taziri has returned as well, although now she is the captain of the Halcyon Two. Syfax is also back although after the incidents in The Burning Sky he has been transferred to being a sky marshall to help protect the airships and their crew. Then there is Shifrah, the deadly assassin, she is no longer working for Lady Sade, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have her own agenda. Espani is a country with nothing left, but Magellan has plans to change all that and cement his place in history in the process. Taziri, unfortunately. stumbles into the middle of those plans, and to protect herself, her passengers and her new plane must call on Lorenzo and his wife for aide.May I repeat myself in saying I loved this book. Much like the first book in the series, The Broken Sword can work as a stand alone novel. So if you haven't read the book one don't worry too much. You won't be lost, but you probably want to pick up a copy of book one just so you don't miss out on the adventures that lead to up to book two. Once again Lewis tells his story through multiple points of view. Each chapter is a separate character, and each chapter moves the story forward. Unlike the first book the chapters aren't separated into the consecutive days that they occur in, however I don't think that takes away from the story any. And it really doesn't seem to make any difference in the authors writing style. The story is still fast paced, yet easy to follow. The characters again are well rounded as well as interesting. If you are looking for a new series to read may I definitely recommend The Halcyon Trilogy.(the third book has recently come out so it's not like you have to wait for ever to finish it either) Lewis's writing is strong through out all three books, and whether you read them together or as separate stand alone novels you won't be disappointed.

Aetherium Book 2 Legend of the Skyfire Stone eBook Joseph Robert Lewis Reviews
Another great read from Joseph Robert Lewis. This is turning out to be a great series, with a different main story in each book but where the characters continue from book to book with their own continuing story arc.
Essentially Steampunk, with electric elements creeping in plus magnificent animals & ghosts - what more could you ask for?
I read Burning Sky when it came out and absolutely live it. Mr. Lewis has succeeded again in bringing back many of the characters from the first and continuing their saga. He has obviously put quite a bit of thought into how these characters will grow and evolve butis unafraid to lose a few on the way. I can't wait to see what he does with this vagabond group. Only problem with reading the books so far apart is trying to keep all the historical plotlines straight. I would not be surprised to see a minor character in either book show up in the third and I will have to revisit to recall their history.
Joseph Robert Lewis's "The Broken Sword" is a deft blending of several genres, including Steampunk, Alt-History, and Fantasy. But the overlying genre is Action Adventure. Indeed, I don't think there was a single page that didn't have fighting, chasing, or intrigue; or at least someone plotting to do one of those.
The world-building is unique and satisfying. The author places you in the 19th-century western Mediterranean, but in a timeline where the Ice Age is still in full swing. So places like England and Germany are buried under glaciers, while Spain, Italy and Morocco are in a temperate region where snow is not uncommon.
An anti-killing hero is a nice change-of-pace. The ending is decent, if not spectacular. There are a few too many deus ex machinas, but I quibble.
Even though it is part of a series, The Broken Sword can be read as a standalone book. There are some back-references to Book 1 (which I haven't read), but none of them are vital to this story.
This was a fun read from start to finish. Nothing deep or highbrow. Just an exciting tale. 4 Stars
