US Marshal Mason Sadler has a great hustle going on with the vivacious and lovely Belle Dubois, the madam of the Bird Cage Theater in Tombstone, Arizona Territory. She keeps the outlaws occupied until he conveniently shows up to arrest them after which she and Mason split the reward.
Their business arrangement is going rather well until the wealthy inventor and archaeologist Henry Mitchell decides to make a play for Belle's attention and affection. After all, he's single while Mason is stuck in a marriage to a woman who prefers laudanum to marital bliss. But does Henry really desire Belle or is his interest a deflection from his true intentions, for gold from the Seven Cities of Cibola has been discovered in the mining hills of Tombstone. Two men desperately want to keep the discovery a secret -- Caleb, the old miner who found the treasure, and Henry who has spent the past several years hunting for it. Unfortunately for Caleb, Henry has no qualms about using whatever means necessary to take what he wants, even if it means murder and kidnapping. Regrettably for Belle, she eventually gets in the way. With the help of two Chiricahua machinists, Mason sets out to stop Henry's escape and rescue Belle. But everyone has failed to take into consideration two dead conquistadors who are not quite ready to part with the gold.

Historia
There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Would you recommend Fool's Gold to your friends? Why or why not?
None of my friends are into steampunk, so recommending this book to them won't do any good. But for those who love steampunk and/or western classics, this book might work well.I myself am very new to this genre, having read only one book ("Steampunk is dead") a few weeks ago. That book was of LitRPG genre actually, but based on a steampunk world. This book is pure steampunk genre and hence more geared towards fans of that genre.Did Steve Wannall do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Yes, most of the characters had distinct voice and were easy to differentiate. Only a couple of sequences were unclear and needed relisten.Any additional comments?
I received this audiobook for free from the author / narrator / publisher in exchange for an unbiased review.Treat for Steampunk fans

Most of characters seem to the same as any western you've read, cantankerous prospectors, bartenders, and outlaws. The addition of the steampunk characters and theme really helps this story stand apart from the others.
I enjoyed listening and will be looking for the other books in this series.
Interesting and entertaining alternative history/western/steam punk story

I'll admit that I am a noob when it comes to steampunk, I could never find something that looked good. I think the closest I had come, up until now, was Hard Magic, and that was a mash up of several genres as well. Either way, I've caught a flavor for it.
Fool's Gold involves a Marshall and a Madam, a prospector and a scientist, and some angry zombies. The story would work great just as a western, but the other elements really work wel, even the zombies. It is kind of like sitting down to watch a Lone Ranger episode and finding him and Tonto battling werewolves. A surprise, but something you can't look away from. The characters are well thought out and have areal depth. These are not just cut out paste and stick characters. The story even manages to blend in a little mystery and romance. The story's pace goes from a trot to runaway stagecoach in a suitable time frame, and you really enjoy the ride.
Wannall does a great job, giving everyone distinct voices, although I had to go back and relisten to the book to make sure I wasn't imagining that the Birdcage Bordello Madam started with a french accent, and lost it later on. I chalked it up to her using that voice to make her self sexier. That really is nitpicking, and it doesn't affect the story at all.
This is a fun book that starts what looks to be a great series. I'm off to book 2!!!
