The Firefly - The Ghost Machine by James Lovegrove

The Firefly - The Ghost Machine by James Lovegrove

Auburndale was carved out of the central Florida wilderness in 1884 when the South Florida Railroad selected the location to build a depot. Surrounded by clear, sand-bottomed lakes, the site was located almost equally between the ocean and gulf and was 14 miles from Bartow, the county seat. The new depot was named after Auburndale, Massachusetts, which was the hometown of one of the owners. When completed, the depot was the only building in sight. Settlers quickly realized the advantage of being close to the railroad, and by 1889 Auburndale had 30 homes and a population of 270. One church, seven stores, a livery stable, two hotels, and a sawmill lined the sandy streets. The young community survived fires that destroyed Main Street twice, a tornado that demolished their schools, and devastating freezes that killed citrus trees.

"The Ghost Machine is a delight from page one right on through to the endThe heart of one of my favorite franchises continues to beat strong in the Titan Books series of novels, and I am eager for more." - Nerds on Earth "Lovegrove ends up creating something that's really clever, and gives a new look at some very familiar characters." - Grimdark Dad
