発行者による作品情報
Brothers Winchester, Remington, and Colt know the legends--they were trained from childhood to destroy demon predators, wielding the latest steam-powered gadgetry. It's a devil of a job. But sometimes your fate chooses you. . .
Chasing Trouble
Winn Jackson isn't interested in hunting nightmares across the Wild West--even if it's the family business. Unlike his rakehell brothers, Winn believes in rules. As sheriff of Bodie, California, he only shoots actual law breakers. That's what he's doing when he rescues the Contessa Drossenburg, Alexandra Porter, a lady with all the elegance of the Old World--grace, beauty and class. And then he sees her fangs.
Alexandra isn't just some bloodsucking damsel in distress, though. She's on a mission to save her people--and she's dead certain that Winn's family legacy is the only way. Luckily, aside from grace and class, she also has a stubborn streak a mile wide. So like it or not, Winn is going to come back with her to the mountains of Transylvania, and while he's at it, change his opinions about vampires, demon-hunting, and who exactly deserves shooting. And if she has her way, he's going to do his darnedest to save the world. . .
"Meyers puts the steam in steampunk."--Cherry Adair
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Smalltown sheriff Winchester Jackson is a cowboy hero who proves his worth from the first sentence, wherein he threatens to blow drunken outlaw leader Hoss Dalton's "oversized melon" to "kingdom come." When he meets a woman who proves his match in battle as well as romance, a steamy tension underscores their fast-paced adventure. She's Lady Alexandra Porter, Contessa Drossenburg, emissary of His Vampiric Imperial Majesty, come to lead Winchester on a mission to find part of the Book of Legend that his father hid away decades before (continuing the quest of Winchester's brother Colt in The Hunter). The landscape is populated with vampires, demons, a "mad genius" named Marley Turlock, and mechanical horses, spiders, and cacti, all of which will bewilder readers new to the series. Returning fans, though, will be pleased with this addition to the steampunk western canon.
