A fantastic Steampunk adventure in the deeps
Transforming his appearance and stealing secret documents from the French is all in a day's work for fourteen-year-old Modo, a British secret agent. But his latest mission—to uncover the underwater mystery of something called the Ictíneo—seems impossible. There are rumors of a sea monster and a fish as big as a ship. French spies are after it, and Mr. Socrates, Modo's master, wants to find it first. Modo and his fellow secret agent, Octavia, begin their mission in New York City, then take a steamship across the North Atlantic. During the voyage, Modo uncovers an astounding secret.
The Dark Deeps, the second book in Arthur Slade's Hunchback Assignments series, is set in a fascinating Steampunk Victorian world. Modo's underwater adventures and his encounters with the young French spy Colette Brunet, the fearless Captain Monturiol, and the dreaded Clockwork Guild guarantee a gripping read filled with danger, suspense, and brilliant inventions.
From the Hardcover edition.

The Dark Deeps (Hunchback Assignments Series #2)
"The Dark Deeps" (Hunchback A. 2) by Arthur Slade is scary steampunk. Brief precisely titled chapters shift viewpoints clearly, without confusion. Some, as the prologue with experimental "Yellow Boy" Griff, link, as to evil Dr. Hyde and icy lovely metal-hand red-haired Hakkandottir, and reappear with invisible coughs. Premonition hints, such as ch4 "On the last day of his life" sprinkle lightly, not too much.
Ugly masked chameleon Modo, now 14, and distracting vision Octavia Milkweed, now 15, look and act older, brave secret agents defending Britannia. Posing as a married couple, they find an underwater Utopia where comrades are equals and recognize no deformities. Should Modo ally with Griff, or an older 18 courageous pretty French agent? Colette, teased for her half-Japanese parentage, "felt like a monster at times", and asks to see his true face.
[Spoiler:
Icaria suggests flying to me, not seabed, and the sacrifices of the comrades seems cruel. Too bad metal-hand Hakkandottir survives.
