Reviews / Votes
"Ack-Ack is an inspired creation, a monkey with attitude, issues and a hole where his heart should be, and his latest deftly plotted adventure is riotous fun." -- The Guardian * The Guardian * "More fun than a barrel of steampunk monkeys - It's an over-the-top, verbally caffeinated adventure story with smart, nasty ideas and plenty of pulp." -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel * The Milaukee Journal Sentinel *More details
