@ Levislade: Thanks for the Clementine tip! I'll have toget that as well as Dreadnought. Cherie is awesome AND local. Looking forward to Dreadnought from this badical hugo nominee.
@3, Steampunk does need to be stopped. It's just embarrassing. Maybe the novel's good, but I'll never read it. Anything that rides ridiculous fads like 'steampunk' to success should just be delivered directly to the waste bin.
The aesthetic itself was just fine until it got turned into some juggalo-style movement and given such a stupid name. But I'm sure Steamcon will make tons of money off these idiots.
The zombies was one of the things that put me OFF Boneshaker. It was just too silly to take seriously, and I couldn't suspend my disbelief. If Dreadnought has no zombies, that will be a plus in my opinion. I might actually read it.
And do either of these books also have zombies? Because I will admit that was a big part of the attraction with Boneshaker.
We'll stop when we've sucked the marrow from the bones, and not a moment before.
By the way, Steamcon is coming pretty soon.

Wiki wild, wiki wiki wild wild west.
@2: No zombies yet. I'll keep you posted.
