Review Quotes: Paying homage to the great Victorian-era adventures of Jules Verne, we're along for the ride as a trio of cyber-steampunk salvagers plunge down to the abyssal plateau, searching for a find that could prevent the Great War. Along the way, treachery, unlikely partnerships, breathless chases, and hair's-breadth escapes play out in hyper detailed artwork illuminated by shades that lend gorgeously evocative tones, while page compositions are often used epically and inventively to lend wonder and urgency.-- "Booklist"
