It works well as a Sherlock Holmes pastiche or as a steampunk novel. The steampunk elements are all there: strong female - Mycroft is his sister; robot or mechanical man or parts thereof - Watson has a mechanical arm, rather than a limp; steam transportation - hot air balloons and a motorized cycle; and an adventure - trying to recover Britain's plans for rebuilding the Nautilus.

Everyone loves a Sherlock Holmes story- even though we have read many different styles. It was great how Jules Vernes Nautilus was woven into the story. A little short but it was sweet.
