This comes across as Sherlock Holmes with overt Steampunk attributes. We have the quaint view of Victorian London, airships, new, steam-powered ground technologies, medical contraptions, and zombies, which seem to be a staple of the genre now. The writing started a little rough in my opinion, but smoothed out as the characters got to know each other. The adventure was very enjoyable and had a few twists and several side-plots that helped remind you that other people are involved in their own lives in this world. Despite my opening line, this is not just "Sherlock with gears"; I'm looking forward to the sequels to see where these characters go next and allow some of the leads brought up in The Affinity Bridge to come to the fore.
