Desciption

On the brink of humanity’s extinction, Nikola Tesla and a mysterious order of scientists known as the Tellurians revealed a bold plan to save a world ravaged by a disease that turned sane men into ravenous werewolves: the uninfected would abandon the Earth’s surface by rising up in floating salvation cities, iron and steel metropolises that carried tens of thousands of refugees above the savage apocalypse.Twenty years later, only one salvation city remains aloft, while the beasts still rule the world below. Time has taken its toll on the miraculous machinery of the city, and soon the last of the survivors will plummet to their doom. But when Elijah Kelly, a brakeman aboard the largest of the city’s Thunder Trains, is infected by the werewolf virus, he discovers a secret world of lies and horrific experiments that hide the disturbing truth about the Tellurians.When the beast in his blood surges forth, Elijah must choose between the lives of those he loves, and the city that is humanity’s last hope of survival.

Review

I really enjoyed the world-building and the technologies used in Gearteeth by Timothy Black. The main plot takes place in Wardenclyffe, the last floating city still in the air built by Tesla to escape the blood panic. (Yes I said floating city!) I especially liked the concept of thunder trains. They're trains that fly through the air instead of traveling over land and run purely on energy from lightning storms. Don't worry, they still have a traditional furnace if there are clear skies and they run out of electricity 😉I love Elijah's Grandmother, Maude. She is described as a "cantankerous old woman with a right hook that could lay out a sailor" and she pilots a thunder train she fixed after finding it crashed on the ground with werewolves running around trying to eat everyone. She has a take-no-bull attitude but a soft side she doesn't show just anyone.Gearteeth is the book for you if you like:√ Fast pacing√ Steampunk fantasy√ Werewolves√ Secret societies√ Found familyHappy reading! 📚
