I bought this novel based on another reader's review. Ergo, only fair I put my own two cents out there.
I really enjoyed this novel, so much so, that I bought a second one by he same author and am reading it now. The author presents a very enjoyable alternate history in which the Confederate States of America successfully secedes, but that is nothing but a dropped reference in this novel. In Red Wheels Turning, the protagonist, Bloody Brian, has to investigate a superweapon (tank-like vehicle) being made in secret by the imperial Russians, in the midst of WWI.
I do not want to drop anymore of the story and ruin your enjoyment of it, suffice to say that it is a cracking good read, and well worth your time, and few dollars. So, go ahead a get it already.

This is my introduction to Mr. Ashton's work. It is a fascinating story of war machines for World War I, differences in social classes in Britain and Russia at the time, and the onset of Lenin's grab for power. The Russians are building huge war machines to combat the Germans and the revolution that the aristocracy feel will be coming soon. The British send a young officer to investigate the war machines and their feasibility. Lenin is also interested in the war machines and sends and operative to investigate for him. Of course the paths of the investigators cross and the story comes to comes to a climax. It is how the protagonists get to their show down that is interesting and keeps the reader
involved in the book.
I found the book to be interesting and a joy to read. It is an adventure story from the past and one that can hold your interests. Also there is also the possibility that the hero will show up again in future books about this era in history. A very good read.

Review of Red Wheels Turning
2012/1/3

I read "Red Wheels Turning" after reading the author's "Beneath Gray Skies" and thoroughly enjoyed them both. The novel is an excellent example of alternative-history fiction, and one of its good points is that the setting is a rather unusual one, compared with other places and periods which have been done to death by SF writers. I bought the POD edition, which is printed in the same font as "Beneath Gray Skies" and is very easy on the eyes. The characters are well-crafted and believable, and although some characters also appear in "Beneath Gray Skies", it doesn't matter which book you read first. The plot is quite gripping, and a lot of it concerns the exploits of the gangster-turned-spy Kolinski making his way across Russia. It's very difficult to make a villainous main character nasty and yet sympathetic - but it works here. I was revolted by Kolinski's actions, but I found I was rooting for him as he fought his way out of yet another skirmish with the Russian army.
As well as the human characters, the novel is dominated by the bizarre weapons that drive the plot - the Netopyr and the Zaamurets. It's extraordinary to think that these machines actually existed and Ashton really shines a light into this obscure aspect of world history. My only quibble is that the Zaamurets seemed to get more 'screen time' than the Netopyr, but that's a minor thing. "Steam Punk" and "Diesel Punk" are pigeonholes that people are probably sick of hearing about - the blurb on the back cover coins the term "Steam Pulp" to describe itself - but whatever you call it, this is a damn good read.
