Publisher's Summary

Audie Award Nominee, Science Fiction, 2013

In a time when the Industrial Revolution has escalated into all-out warfare, Mad Science rules the world… with mixed success.

With the help of Krosp, Emperor of All Cats, Agatha has escaped from the massive airship known as Castle Wulfenbach. After crashing their escape dirigible, Agatha and Krosp fall in with Master Payne’s Circus of Adventure, a traveling troupe of performers dedicated to staging Heterodyne shows - dramatizations of the exploits of Bill and Barry Heterodyne and their allies - who are unaware of Agatha’s connection to the Heterodyne line.

Pursued by the ruthless Baron Klaus Wulfenbach, his handsome son Gil, and their minions (not to mention Othar Tryggvassen, Gentleman Adventurer), Agatha hides in plain sight among the circus folk, servicing their clanks and proving herself adept in performing the role of Lucrezia Mongfish, nemesis to - and later wife of - Bill Heterodyne. She also begins training under Zeetha, swordmistress and princess of the lost city of Skifander. Together, Agatha, Krosp, and the performers travel across the treacherous Wasteland of war-torn Europa, toward Mechanicsburg, and the ancestral home of the Heterodynes - Castle Heterodyne.

But with many perils standing in her way - including Wulfenbach’s crack troops, mysterious Geisterdamen, savage Jägermonsters, and the fabled Storm King - it’s going to take more than a spark of Mad Science for Agatha to get through.…

From Phil and Kaja Foglio, creators of the multiple WCCA and Hugo Award-winning webcomic Girl Genius, comes Agatha H and the Clockwork Princess, a gaslamp fantasy filled to bursting with Adventure! Romance! And Mad Science!

Not just the same as the graphic novel

I have been a fan of the Foglios since the days of Dragon Magazine. The graphic novels that this work here are based on consisted of three volumes (4-6) roughly 600 pages (a little less, as they include short stories, parody ads and paper doll cutouts in the graphic novels)

There core story remains the same, but each medium is given access to grow and flourish to its strengths. A scene in one can be a single panel with a couple of text boxes becoming a five minute back and forth in the audio version. Conversely a few sentences may sweep across a two page splash graphic.

This section of the overall tale has taken a Miss Clay, newly informed of her family history and strength as a spark (mad scientist) and has her trying to just disappear into the strange world to avoid trouble. As the success of such a plan would defeat the novel she fails and learns just what lengths various forces will take to try to control her.

As I write this there are 19 graphic novel volumes and four traditional novels available, plus the 3 times a week updates on the website.

So enjoyable!

I love this series as a web comic (see Girl Genius! it's great!) but I love it even more as a series of novels! The reading was excellent and very fun to listen to. Perfect to listen to while crafting!

High flying steampunk adventure

The narrator was on point and the story is a well written transcription of the webcomic. #Audible1
