Wow this is bad. The publishers tells us that 'Having as his hobby the history and use of hand weapons, he also contrived to weave much of this little-known lore into this..." and yes if you want to read a story about gunpowder and weapons and how exciting and powerful that can be this is a story for you. The paratime police layer doesn't really add anything to the story either and this one was mainly a waste of time.
