Book Tom Horn vs. The Warlords of krupp's power Along with the action scenes Tom Horn vs The Warlords of Krupp has generally well done description At most points I found it very easy to imagine the scenes portrayed in the book and being a naturally visual person good description is always a plus. Book Tom Horn vs. The Warlords of krupps Reading through the book I found the addition of historic individuals from various eras to be a fascinating aspect It s always interesting to see modern portrayals of historic figures and it is doubly interesting when those historic figures are taken out of their natural world and thrown into a steampunk story Perhaps my favorite of these historical characters were the Wright brothers In Tom Horn these two ingenious characters get a life of their own and go from mere inventors to action quality heroes and perhaps of all the characters in the story these two fit in with the steampunk atmosphere the best. Tom Horn vs. The Warlords of kruppel-like Of course there were also some serious downsides to the story too not the least of which being the long and rather odd title One of the problems I initially noticed in the story was the huge assortment of editing errors that I found in it changes in tense misspellings words missing and various other typos Of course I also bought one of the first edition stories back when Dr Robinson was trying out writing under the pseudonym Jackson Paul and I have since been informed that a large portion of those errors have been fixed so the typos are something of a mute point. Book Tom Horn vs. The Warlords of kruppa Plot wise there isn t a lot of new material here It really is just a basic war maniac wants to throw the world into chaos and get rich sort of story The characters and one plot twist I actually honestly didn t expect were what really made the story interesting so it wasn t all that bad but if you re looking for a particularly fresh idea you won t find it in this book. Tom Horn vs. The Warlords of kruppala I think the thing that bothered me the most in this book though was the extraordinary amount of inconsistencies One minute Tom is wielding dual revolvers then they become pistols then they become a single rifle The revolver vs pistol thing really isn t that big of a deal to me as most people don t recognize that there is a difference between the two I actually wouldn t have recognized the difference if it weren t for my brother who pointed out that error when I read the first draft of Prism World to him The rifle though That one was a bit of a stretch for my imagination. Book Tom Horn vs. The Warlords of krupp moving However it isn t just the weaponry that tends to be inconsistent The characters themselves seem to change frequently particularly during the slow parts of the story but also occasionally in parts of the action as well One instant Eleanor is admitting to Tom that his method of handling difficult situations namely fighting is rather beneficial the next she is scolding him for knocking out a Krupp soldier who was trying to kill them I recognize that she is supposed to be a naive character but at some points she verges on the realm of just plain stupid. Tom Horn vs. The Warlords of Krupp books Dialogue was another thing that remained rather inconsistent and even stilted throughout the story At some points Tom is using cowboy dialect the next he is speaking in proper English Some of the characters choice of words in certain instances seemed to be out of place and for that matter out of character Then there s the simple fact that the description is decidedly gory in parts while Tom who technically should be a badass character is still saying Dang it I would much rather have seen the character use the unveggified version of the word or at least to simply read something like He swore under his breath The use of a mild cuss word by a character who is anything but mild just cheapens him in the end. Tom Horn vs. The Warlords of Krupp ebook free I honestly wasn t sure what to make of Tom Horn vs The Warlords of Krupp when I first started reading it It certainly has its slow sometimes unnecessarily slow moments and then there are moments that could definitely have been expanded shown rather than told as we put it in Rough Writers Overall though the story was a good one and turned out better in the end than I expected it to in the beginning It s an easy fun read so if you re looking for something quick to pass the time Tom Horn vs The Warlords of Krupp is a good fit However if you re looking for a serious professional quality story this isn t the book for you It all depends on taste 1468150987 I m not that familiar with all the wild west heroes But that did not matter for enjoying this book. Book Tom Horn vs. The Warlords of krupp farms It is a short but hefty and action packed mix of steampunk and wild west The story is told straight ahead I liked the appearance of many well known people like the Wright brothers Theodere Roosevelt Wild West it is an excellent tale The mechanics of the book were sadly lacking typo errors galore wrong tense and POV I am sure the author will improve as he continues to write I would recommend this tale to anyone wishing to read alternative history steampunk or fiction 1468150987 Steampunk is a great genre to write stories in Besides the imaginative tech authors have a wide variety of fascinating of historical figures to choose from For example did you know Tom Horn the title character of Tom Horn vs The Warlords of Krupp by Glen Robinson is a real person Obscure historical figures have found new life in alternate history like Mordechai Anielewicz in Harry Turtledove s Worldwar series. Book Tom Horn vs. The Warlords of krupps resort Back to the novel Tom Horn ex Pinkerton ex Indian fighter ex gunslinger has settled down to enjoy the rest of his years in peace on a south Texas ranch That is until he is arrested for murder only to be rescued by New York Governor Theodore Roosevelt Taking Tom and his nephew Kid east in a zeppelin the good guys want to stop it from happening Similar plots can be found in the films Sherlock Holmes A Game of Shadows and the awful abortion The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen go read the graphic novel by Alan Moore instead The idea of starting a war even for a weapons company always sounds like a bad business plan War can be destructive so unless Krupp s factories are located in some remote corner of the Earth the factories producing the weapons could be destroyed Even if the factories were in some remote corner of the planet they would still need to be staffed and supplied with raw materials and the finished product would need to be shipped to whatever nation needed it Whether by air or sea any ship carrying the goods could be attacked by another nation wanting to deny their enemies from gaining the weapons Finally people don t like it when you give weapons to the enemies While in Tom Horn the Krupps seem to be allied with the Germans my guess is the Kaiser would not approve of selling the same weapons to the British French or Russians. PDF Tom Horn vs. The Warlords of krupps As I mentioned before Krupp is desperate to stop Eleanor from reaching Venice yet Krupp agents carry out overly complicated to stop the teenager and her guardians Although Tom explained to Roosevelt that he expected Krupp to come all guns blazing not caring if innocent bystanders get caught rarely does his theory play out The bad guys consistently try to capture Eleanor first before they kill her For example the Germans use a sub to board and capture an ocean liner that Tom and Eleanor are travelling on instead of just destroying the ship altogether Perhaps there is some logic to the Krupp business plan and their strategy to stop Eleanor that escapes me but at the moment I cannot think of it. Tom Horn vs. The Warlords of krupply Despite the incompetent villains Tom Horn was a fascinating character His common sense cowboy ways delightfully clashed with the scientists and elitists he met on his travel to Europe I also like any story that includes a shout out to one of my favorite American presidents Theodore Roosevelt I wish authors would use this bigger than life character who probably lived a eclectic life than the title character himself In fact Robinson makes use of several historical characters sometimes to the detriment of the novel Thomas Edison and a very young Adolf Hitler both mentioned in the description of the novel do appear in non speaking roles in the novel but have very little impact on the plot It felt like the author shoe horned them into the novel simply because of their recognizable names instead of helping the story move along. Tom Horn vs. The Warlords of kruppla There are other issues with the novel that prevented me from giving it a higher grade Passive voice POV problems and typos There were also contradictory statements made by Tom Horn that led to some head scratching For example Tom mentions earlier in the novel that the mute Kid lost his ability to communicate after his father died Later in the novel Tom explains that the boy became mute after he got hit on the head Issues like that show a lack of editing. Kindle Tom Horn vs. The Warlords of krupps Even with said issues the book does not disappoint in its claim of being steampunk adventure novel It includes the usual tropes associated with the genre famous historical persons anachronistic technology airships and of course steam power Lack of editing and the unoriginal plot hurts the novel but fans of the less serious steampulp genre will enjoy reading Tom Horn beat up the bad guys and save the world in the process 1468150987

Pen name of site_link Glen Robinson Pen name of site_link Glen Robinson site_link.:The the story include German characters and therefore the use of German language. Book Tom Horn vs. The Warlords of krupps resort I m German and therefore I understand the German dialogues The use of another language is fine for me as long as you do it in a proper way. Book Tom Horn vs. The Warlords of krupp dental I must say all the German dialogues must be proof read because they are either wrong or misleading[1]Rudolf Diesel and others
