Publisher's Synopsis
Mashing 1970s action comedies with an 1800s society, Freerale is the world's first steamfunk novel - too funky to be punk. In a disco-style world where everything runs on steam and clockwork, society's running out of coal. Lenny Freerale and his family think they know how to fix that, but that knowledge makes him a target. He'll need to be fast, smart and agile to survive his pursuers. Unfortunately, he just met Penny Piptrack, the upbeat locomotive driver far smarter than she seems. Penny could use some excitement in her life, but Lenny's constant chases, schemes and brawls might prove a little too hot to handle. From the back alleys of Farglum City to the highbrow parties of the Affluent Reach and beyond, Freerale smashes through the chapters on a pacy race to see who'll be first to solve the continental fuel crisis for untold riches. Who's ready to ride the rails?
