Historia
Evil is most assuredly afoot - and Britain’s fate rests in the hands of an alluring renegade... and a librarian. These are dark days indeed in Victoria’s England. Londoners are vanishing, then reappearing, washing up as corpses on the banks of the Thames, drained of blood and bone. Yet the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences - the Crown’s clandestine organization whose bailiwick is the strange and unsettling - will not allow its agents to investigate. Fearless and exceedingly lovely Eliza D. Braun, however, with her disturbing fondness for dynamite, refuses to let the matter rest...

Librarian Sylvia Ashe knows nothing about her past, having grown up without a father and a mother who refused to discuss him. When she stumbles upon a diary that suggests she's descended from magicians, she's skeptical. After all, magicians are special, and she's just an ordinary woman who loves books. She seeks answers from a member of the most prominent family of magicians, but she quickly learns that finding the truth won't be easy, especially when he turns out to be as artless as her, and more compelling and dangerous than books.

The orphaned Elsie Camden learned as a girl that there were two kinds of wizards in the world: those who pay for the power to cast spells and those, like her, born with the ability to break them. But as an unlicensed magic user, her gift is a crime. Commissioned by an underground group known as the Cowls, Elsie uses her spellbreaking to push back against the aristocrats and help the common man. Elite magic user Bacchus Kelsey is one elusive spell away from his mastership when he catches Elsie breaking an enchantment. To protect her secret, Elsie strikes a bargain.

Resumen del Editor
Evildoers beware! Retribution is at hand, thanks to Britain's best-kept secret agents!
Certainly no strangers to peculiar occurrences, agents Wellington Books and Eliza Braun are nonetheless stunned to observe a fellow passenger aboard Britain's latest hypersteam train suddenly vanish in a dazzling bolt of lightning. They soon discover this is not the only such disappearance ... with each case going inexplicably unexamined by the Crown.
The fate of England is once again in the hands of an ingenious archivist paired with a beautiful, fearless lady of adventure. And though their foe be fiendishly clever, so then is Mr. Books ... and Miss Braun still has a number of useful and unusual devices hidden beneath her petticoats.

Historia
Tania de Batz is most herself with a sword in her hand. Everyone thinks her near-constant dizziness makes her weak, nothing but “a sick girl.” But Tania wants to be strong, independent, a fencer like her father—a former Musketeer and her greatest champion. Then Papa is brutally, mysteriously murdered. His dying wish? For Tania to attend finishing school. But L’Académie des Mariées, Tania realizes, is no finishing school. It’s a secret training ground for new Musketeers.

London, 1889. For Ira Adler, former rent-boy and present plaything of crime lord Cain Goddard, stealing back the statue from Goddard's blackmailer should have been a doddle.

Aida Palmer performs a spirit medium show onstage at Chinatown's illustrious Gris-Gris speakeasy. However, her ability to summon (and expel) the dead is more than just an act. Winter Magnusson is a notorious bootlegger who's more comfortable with guns than ghosts. Unfortunately for him, he's the recent target of a malevolent hex that renders him a magnet for hauntings. After Aida's supernatural assistance is enlisted to banish the ghosts, her spirit-chilled aura heats up as the charming bootlegger casts a different sort of spell on her.

Books and Braun Keep Stokin' the Boilers
This series just keeps getting better and I can't wait for the next one. Book 2 provides a little bit more of our heroes' back story but I still want to learn more. It's a fast pace rollicking adventure loaded with the action, by play, and humour that made Book 1 such a success.
Books and Braun are growing into a memorable partnership with their vibrant interaction. Each wonderfully drawn character providing the prefect foil to the other and don't forget our favourite Italian asassian. Then, there is that secret room down in the archives.
It's always the quiet ones

Want some Steampunk?
If you could sum up The Janus Affair in three words, what would they be?
Great Character Interaction
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Janus Affair?
The moment when Wellington's marksmanship became known by Eliza.
Have you listened to any of James Langton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Mr. Langton's performance on this series is great.
Who was the most memorable character of The Janus Affair and why?
Tough call... Wellington and Eliza are both incredible.
Any additional comments?
This is a great series.

Ditto of My Review of Phoenix Rising
Where does The Janus Affair rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Thats like an old as dirt movie buff trying to rate their all time favorite movies. All I can say is that it's up there.
What did you like best about this story?
The characters.
What does James Langton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Not sure that is a fair question for me. I prefer reading books but long commutes take time away from that. James Langton however does an excellent job and his intonations help underline the characters emotional state.
Who was the most memorable character of The Janus Affair and why?
Why "Welly" and Eliza of course. He is still slowly revealing key information about himself and she is doing the same. Sophia is just behind them. I love females who can kick ass, as long as the one being kicked is not mine.
Any additional comments?
You have to love bulletproof corsets and the women that wear them.

Hard to say this is unique and very interesting
Which scene was your favorite?

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The fight to delay Diamond Lil and Sabrena got injured with Wellington at a lose for action
Any additional comments?
Enjoyed the book and look forward to their American adventures Hopefully audio will have them soon

Twists & Turns
Having read and enjoyed the first book of this series, I was eager to read Book 2. Although it was still good, the "interludes" were a bit confusing. There are many characters in the story and, at times, it was difficult to keep track of them all. James Langton does an excellent job of narrating this story. I enjoyed learning a bit more about the Ministry 7. Overall, this was a fun read.

Bunches of Fun
The "A Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences" series is turning out to be a ton of fun. I wasn't familiar with steam punk beyond the name before I chose the first of these novels, and was a bit hesitant. I took a chance and am glad I did. What a hoot! Lots of mechanical marvels, a daring heroine, a dashing hero, and a heart racing mystery. If you're looking for a serious novel with serious "meaning of life" issues, you're in the wrong place. If you're looking for light diversion with extraodinary creativity, this is it.
