Silkpunk and Steam
by Sarina Dorie
Alternate history steampunk with a Japanese flavor. Imagine the Victorians had rediscovered spaceflight. Would the British really be interested in the small island of Japan during the Meiji era on Earth when they could instead occupy an entire Japanese planet instead? Orphaned and alone after her people are annihilated by terraforming starships, a young native girl struggles to survive and rebuild her home. When she falls in love with a woman from the stars, she must decide if she's willing to risk dishonoring herself, her family and her people's traditions to save not only her love, but all of her people, from the merciless destruction of her world by the outsiders. This is the fifth book in The Memory Thief Series, but it can be read as a stand-alone novel separate from the previous books.
