"ADDLETON HEIGHTS is a steampunk novel for everyone (even those who don't know what steampunk is!). It's witty, fun, exciting, and inventive, and is packed with characters you really care about. George Wright Padgett hits all the right notes!" -Jonathan Maberry, New York Times best-selling author of GHOSTWALKERS and PATIENT ZERO
