Description

In the early days of the Civil War, rumors of gold in the frozen Klondike brought hordes of newcomers to the Pacific Northwest. Anxious to compete, Russian prospectors commissioned inventor Leviticus Blue to create a great machine that could mine through Alaska’s ice. Thus was Dr. Blue’s Incredible Bone-Shaking Drill Engine born.

But on its first test run the Boneshaker went terribly awry, destroying several blocks of downtown Seattle and unearthing a subterranean vein of blight gas that turned anyone who breathed it into the living dead.

Now it is 16 years later, and a wall has been built to enclose the devastated and toxic city. Just beyond it lives Blue’s widow, Briar Wilkes. Life is hard with a ruined reputation and a teenage boy to support, but she and Ezekiel are managing. Until Ezekiel undertakes a secret crusade to rewrite history.

His quest will take him under the wall and into a city teeming with ravenous undead, air pirates, criminal overlords, and heavily armed refugees. And only Briar can bring him out alive.

Fast Paced and Fun

A thrilling steampunk adventure, BONESHAKER is nonstop from the very beginning and focused on one thing: entertainment. And on that front, it most certainly delivers.

The story follows a woman named Briar as she travels through Civil War America looking for her son, who is trying to find out the truth about his heritage. Along the way, the separated duo must face those who can use mechanized weapons and hordes of zombie-like creatures.

I really enjoyed the cast. Briar is a fiercely protective mother who is driven to rescue her son, no matter the cost. Zeke's growth comes from the danger and adventure that surrounds him, which forces him to adapt and growth both mentally and physically. There are a host of side characters who add in fun little asides and keep the plot moving, even if they don't get a whole lot of development themselves.

There are flaws in this book, such as the purpose of some of the characters and some encounters that could have lasted longer. However, it excels in what it was meant to do: entertain. It reads like one big action scene with contraptions, creatures, and creative character designs. If you are in the mood for a unique spin on steampunk and some exciting hijinks with strong women, BONESHAKER is the story for you!
