David A Lee's "Country in Ruin - 1865: An Epic Steampunk Adventure from Hatton Cross Steampunk (The Hatton Cross Steampunk Chronicles), Volume 1, features all the salient themes of the genre: time travel, futuristic weapons, a mysterious power source, flying machines powered by steam generated helium engines and a cast of misfit characters in a race to avert the destruction of the country and possibly the human race. Lee says "I love the aspect of alternate history that Steampunk gives you. The opportunity is there with this genre of fiction to embellish history and the alternate aspect of it allows you to change the outcome." Considering that the two main characters of Lee's novel, Finnegan and Declan O'Sullivan, are commissioned by President Lincoln to build a "semi-submersible armored battle carriage" in 1870 in preparation for the war with Japan, the author takes good advantage of the alternate concept, as well as following in the tradition set by Wells and Verne."
