Dead Iron is a gritty steampunk meshed together perfectly with a dark occult novel and a classic Western. The Rail is coming to Hallelujah, Oregon, bringing with it a slew of trouble for the folks who know how to spot it. When the blacksmith’s boy goes missing, Cedar Hunt, a drifter with a dark and painful history and a now loner in Hallelujah decides to go looking for the boy—one last good deed before he moves on, his wolf side is too dangerous for such a small town. But instead of a simple rescue
mission, Cedar finds himself stuck in a completely different type of situation. The forces of good and evil clash once again in this page-turner, Gods from an ancient world and monsters run together in a word where they talk fast and shoot from the hip. Devon Monk blends together these three concepts into a gripping novel that can appeal to everyone. With a wide range of strikingly different characters, there will be someone to love and someone to hate for everyone, and of course anyone who is a fan of steampunk will be drooling, trying to figure out how to replicate the great mechnology in this novel. It is the first in an ongoing series, so anyone looking to find something to lose yourself in, Dead Iron is a great head start for the Age of Steam series. This book defiantly gets two thumbs way, way up!
