Goliath by Scott Westerfeld

4.0

This is a decent trilogy - there is high energy and a great and interesting take on the Alternate History genre - Also, I do love this series, but I feel that it is improperly labeled as "Steampunk" - this novel is more like 50% Bio-punk and 30% Diesel-punk with 15% Tesla-punk and 5% Steampunk elements - calling this a Steampunk novel is inaccurate and I believe that it is done because Steampunk is the "cool" punk right now - Again, read these books and this series - it is great Young Adult Fiction, but do not expect too much Steam and you will get plenty of interesting and original ideas in this series.
