<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A novel of peculiar incidents and unruly dissidents"--Cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From <i>NYT</i> bestselling author Gail Carriger comes a witty adventure about a young woman with rare supernatural abilities travels to India for a spot of tea and adventure and finds she's bitten off more than she can chew. </b> <p/> When Prudence Alessandra Maccon Akeldama (Rue to her friends) is bequeathed an unexpected dirigible, she does what any sensible female under similar circumstances would do -- she christens it the <i>Spotted Custard</i> and floats off to India. <p/>Soon, she stumbles upon a plot involving local dissidents, a kidnapped brigadier's wife, and some awfully familiar Scottish werewolves. Faced with a dire crisis (and an embarrassing lack of bloomers), Rue must rely on her good breeding -- and her metanatural abilities -- to get to the bottom of it all. . .<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Changeless </i>is equal to <i>Soulless</i>: witty, sexy, graceful, and unpredictable.
