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 sixteen 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
teenaged 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.
