Welcome to the WBZ book Club. This is Jordan Rich. It's the first
book in the series The Clockwork Century by Sherry Priest, and it's called bone
Shaker. Time period the early eighteen sixties, and there's rumors of gold and
them nar Hills and the frozen Klondike in the Pacific Northwest. Prospectors from Russia
bring on an inventor, Leviticus Blue, to create an amazing new machine that
could cut through the thick ice of Alaska. It's known as Doctor Blue's Incredible
bone Shaking Drill. But when put into operation, disaster unfolds and the machine
cracks open the earth that releases a gas that turns anyone who breathes it into
a zombie. Many years later, the son of Doctor Blue, Ezekiel,
heads off to the blighted area outside of Seattle, a city teeming with the
undead and with danger. It's a mind bending fantasy mainly for young readers,
with some very memorable characters and a likable sixteen year old hero. Lots of
fun for young readers. Bone Shaker by Sherry Priest, and that's the book
