Books like Morlock Night

I read this for a challenge. It was a challenge.This is Steampunk, as I go with legs  kicking and arms flailing into a genre that two weeks ago I'd never even heard of.  Time machines; the infamous Merlin the Magician; an apocalyptic invasion;  long walks at night, not to mention a submarine ride, within the underground sewers of London.  What the heck.Imagine what would happen if a gent from 1892 England invented a Time Machine, traveled millions of years into the future, and then died there.  Then that same Time Machine is used for travel back to 1892 by evil denizens of the future.  It's an invasion into Victorian London that can have no good outcome.  Will King Arthur himself be roused from the 6th century to save the day?Imaginative, for sure.  A slightly comic, fun-nish read for a cold winter's day?  Perhaps.  The precursor to more Steampunk adventures for myself?  Doubtful!  With only 190 pages and being thrown into the action right from the start, there was very little room for character development, which I think at least was sorely needed for the female lead.  But at least it was short, and I didn't hate it.
