Elijah Kelly is a brakman in one of the world's last surviving floating cities. In 1890, after the Wounded Knee Massacre, an outbreak of werewolves overtook Earth. Tesla, along with a secret order of scientists who followed him, the Tellurians built the floating salvation cities and kept them running. However, the Tellurians are hiding dangerous secrets under their long robes. Now, twenty years after the outbreak, there is only one salvation city aloft and the outbreak is still rampant on Earth. When a werewolf lands on the floating city, Eli gets bitten trying to rescue his best friend, Henry. Not wanting to infect his city, Eli gets dropped off on Earth where he discovers that the werewolves may not be the scariest things on Earth.
Gearteeth is an immersive steampunk fantasy. There is action right from the very beginning, as I was thrown into a very different world. I was immediately intrigued by the flying cities and how they were kept aloft. Then, with the sudden appearance of werewolves, the story evolved and grew in it's mystery. I was amazed that the author could make all of these very different elements work together in a cohesive way that also made sense. From the point of Eli's infection and him trying to keep it a secret, the tensions rose. I was really interested in the Tellurians and what science they were using as well as the many secrets they were hiding. When Eli is left on Earth, the pacing picks up as he learns the truth about the werewolves and how they were created. Some of Eli's family history is also revealed that adds another layer to the werewolf infection. Ending with Eli just out of danger and many more mysteries to solve, I look forward to reading more of the Gearteeth trilogy.
