Can you recommend other works similar to 'Locomotive by Brian Floca' in historical fiction?

Well, it's special because it likely uses accurate historical details. Brian Floca probably did a lot of research. So in the story, we can see the real conditions of the railway at that time, the way people interacted with the locomotive. It might also show the impact of the locomotive on the economy and culture of the period, which is really interesting in historical fiction.

Sure. 'Nirvana in Fire' is a great one. It also has a complex plot with political intrigue and strong characters. Another is 'The Legend of Mi Yue' which shows the life of a powerful woman in historical China. There's also 'Empresses in the Palace' which delves into the court life and power struggles among women in the imperial harem.

Sure. 'Outlander' is a great one. It also has elements of Scottish history, with a time - traveling aspect that adds an interesting twist to the story.

I'm not sure specifically which historical novel Brian Moore wrote in 1985. You may try to search in a library database or a large - scale e - book platform.

If 'the great fiction' is a piece that has a strong narrative voice and a unique world - building aspect, you might like J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings'. It creates an entire fictional world filled with different races, languages, and cultures. Another work could be George Orwell's '1984', which is a dystopian fiction that makes you think about society and power. However, this is all based on assumptions as we don't know the nature of 'the great fiction'.

There are many works in the pulp fiction genre that involve animals. For example, 'The Call of the Wild' has elements of adventure and a focus on an animal, although it's a dog not a kangaroo. It has that same sense of a wild and untamed setting.

I'm not sure of any specific works exactly like 'office pulp fiction' since it's not a well - known genre piece. But if you like stories set in offices with some drama, 'The Office' (both the US and UK versions) have elements of that. They show the comical and sometimes tense relationships among office employees.

Sure. There are many works that share similarities with pulp fiction. The novels of Jim Thompson are a great example. His stories often deal with seedy underbellies of society, complex characters, and a sense of mystery, which are hallmarks of pulp fiction. Also, some of the early horror pulp stories are similar in their ability to shock and engage the reader. And then there are the Western pulp stories which are full of adventure and danger, much like the general feel of pulp fiction.

You could check out works by Dashiell Hammett. His detective novels often have a pulp - like feel. Also, some of the early pulp magazines like 'Black Mask' might have stories with a similar vibe.

One work that might be similar is 'Sin City'. It has that gritty, noir - ish feel like pulp fiction and the characters often seem larger - than - life and in some ways 'bulletproof' in the face of the extreme danger and violence in the city.
