The Kraken The Melville Files 1 "Where other authors give us the trappings of steampunk without real substance, Jonas Cobos infuses his world thoroughly with the substance and spirit of the genre, 110% full of steampunk ideas and motivations. And he did something few other writers have done...made steampunk goggles actually functional tools rather than mere fashion statements." Ralph E. Vaughan "After reading this, I felt I definitely got a tempting taste of what Cobos has to offer as an author, and I can't wait to see where this series heads next. Whatever the destination, I'm definitely on board for the journey. Highly recommended." Sam G. Condal City. 1871.
