Synopsis

Detan Honding, a wanted conman of noble birth and ignoble tongue, has found himself in the oasis city of Aransa. He and his trusted companion Tibs may have pulled off one too many cons against the city's elite and need to make a quick escape. They set their sights on their biggest heist yet - the gorgeous airship of the exiled commodore Thratia.

But in the middle of his scheme, a face changer known as a doppel starts murdering key members of Aransa's government. The sudden paranoia makes Detan's plans of stealing Thratia's ship that much harder. And with this sudden power vacuum, Thratia can solidify her power and wreak havoc against the Empire. But the doppel isn't working for Thratia and has her own intentions. Did Detan accidentally walk into a revolution and a crusade? He has to be careful - there's a reason most people think he's dead. And if his dangerous secret gets revealed, he has a lot more to worry about than a stolen airship.

Goodreads review by Bradley on October 16, 2016

This new fantasy novel had me in a twitter before I sat down to read it. I expected a steampunk fantasy tome, and if I'm really honest with myself, I always *want* to like steampunk more than I ever truly do. In fact, I almost pre-judged this one based on my lackluster experiences. Good news! This is......more

Goodreads review by Althea on January 08, 2016

Wow! This one really exceeded my expectations - great fun! Stylistically, 'Steal the Sky' is like a mash-up of Cherie Priest's 'Clockwork Century' series and Scott Lynch's 'Gentleman Bastards.' If you like either of those authors, Megan O'Keefe comes highly recommended. She serves up a good mix of gr......more

3.5 stars The characters are definitely the highlight in this book, and almost outshine the actual story. The worldbuilding is a really creative desert-steampunk that felt completely different.......more

Goodreads review by Beth on October 24, 2015

This book is an absolute blast. It mixes up magic and steampunk shenanigans in the style of Firefly. Detan is a lovable rogue with snarky wit and a huge secret. The world-building here is phenomenal. It's steampunk as far as airships and factory technology, but there's almost an old west feel to it......more
