The Transatlantic Conspiracy




Celebrity steampunk icon (he has 160K Facebook fans) G.D. Falksen's thrilling YA debut, part Murder on the Orient Express, part Titanic, and part 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, is set during global upheaval in a reimagined dawn of the 20th century.

At the dawn of a reimagined 20th century, one girl must become the reluctant symbol of a new world.
 
The year is 1908. Seventeen-year-old Rosalind Wallace’s blissful stay in England with her best friend, Cecily de Vere, ends abruptly when her father books Rosalind on the maiden voyage of his fabulous Transatlantic Express, the world’s first railroad to travel under the sea. Rosalind is furious. But lucky for her, Cecily and her handsome older brother, Charles, volunteer to accompany her home.
 
But when Charles disappears and Cecily and her housemaid, Doris, are found stabbed to death in their state room, Rosalind finds herself trapped undersea, in a deadly fight to clear herself of her friend’s murder and to thwart a sinister enemy.

Praise for The Transatlantic Conspiracy

Praise for Transatlantic Conspiracy:
"[An] Agatha Christie-esque mystery . . . Fantastical alternate history details blend seamlessly with multifaceted characters and tightly woven elements of intrigue, suspense, and romance to create a story, and a world, that will long linger in readers' imaginations."
--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

"An undersea Murder on the Orient Express . . . A frenetic thrill ride of plots and counterplots, daring escapes, [and] grand gestures."
--Kirkus Reviews

"The underwater train is described in glorious detail; its dining car, library, and staterooms evoke unwelcome comparisons to the Titanic." --VOYA
