The stories in this book will transport you to a new universe – the one we are striving to create, right here and now.

This was not an easy novel. Apparently a show business themed story with pretty boys wearing knee-high boots and eyeliner, it soon turned in a dark memoir about sex, drugs and rock and roll. 
The Fallen Angels series is seriosly becoming an 101 course on catholic myths and legend; aside from some well know names, as Lucifer, Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, most of the Heavenly and Fallen Angels that are introduced book after book are totally new to me.

This is probably the first example I read on a subgenre that is becoming quite popular, the “steampunk”. In an undefined Far West, probably end of the XIX century, beginning of the XX, Conrad is the spoiled son of a Governor; his father name and money always save him from the law: one day yes, and the other also, Conrad is in prison for buggery. Conrad’s great passion, other than men, is science, and in particular mechanics: he loves to inventing things that help him in finding pleasure, both physical than mental. Another thing that turns him away from women, other than not finding them attractive on a physical level, is that he doesn’t find them interesting on a mental level.
