Tales from the Gunpowder Chronicles: A collection of Opium War steampunk stories by Jeannie Lin

Asian steampunk at its finest with three new tales of adventure from bestselling author Jeannie Lin East meets West in a clash of gunpowder technology versus steam in an epic and richly-detailed series. Features three standalone stories: Big Trouble in Old Shanghai The Island of the Opium-Eaters Love in the Time of Engines Big Trouble in Old Shanghai The signs are there. Gangs roaming the streets, the very earth shaking beneath their feet. Ming-fen could tell something was coming to Old Shanghai, but she didn't know exactly what until the city erupted in fiery rebellion — with her brother caught on the wrong side. With the streets in turmoil, Ming-fen must rely on her fighting skills and a blue-eyed foreign devil to survive the day, and perhaps keep an already broken city from all-out civil war. The Island of the Opium-Eaters Sagara Satomi hasn't set foot on land since she was exiled from Nippon and cast adrift upon a ship owned by a notorious Chinese rebel. Rogue alchemist, Yang Hanzhu has spent years chasing dark rumors, plotting a course toward an unmarked island with a mysterious past. Will they uncover the island's secrets? Or be buried there along with them
