Cherie Priest - Dreadnought

Highlands Ranch: Acclaimed novelist Cherie Priest, famed for her southern gothic ghost story novels Four and Twenty Blackbirds, Wings to the Kingdom, and Not Flesh Nor Feathers, will read from and sign Dreadnought ($14.99 Tor), the second novel in her Clockwork Century series. In the Clockwork Century, an alternate-history world setting, it is 1880 (or thereabouts). The Civil War is still underway, drawn out by English interference, a different transportation infrastructure, and a powerful Republic of Texas that discovered oil at Spindletop some fifty years sooner than real life allowed. “An intimate, well-crafted portrait of a nurse on a mission adds depth to this exceptional Civil War steampunk thriller, the self-contained sequel to 2009’s Locus Award-winning Boneshaker.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
