Description

Ichor Well is the third adventure in the Free-Wrench Series of Steampunk novels.

Ever since Nita Graus left her homeland and joined the crew of the Wind Breaker, the reputation of the airship and its crew has been growing. The destruction of the mighty dreadnought, the escape from the legendary Skykeep, and the inexplicable ability to remain hidden from the ever-watchful eye of the Fug Folk have combined to make her and her fellow crew the stuff of legend. Alas, legendary heroes cannot exist for long without attracting a worthy villain. Luscious P. Alabaster strives to be just that foe.

While he works his nefarious plans, the crew itself is not without turmoil. Captain Mack, already having survived far more years in the hostile skies than he had any right to expect, is making plans for his golden years. The crew is gradually learning all that Nita can teach them, leaving her with the looming decision of whether or not she still has a place among the crew.

Before the matter of the future can be settled, the crew has the problems at hand to solve. And in escaping the webs woven by the cunning and eccentric Alabaster, they may discover the darkest secrets the churning and toxic Fug has to hide.

    I really enjoyed the creativity of this book series, the author has a wonderful imagination and pays great attention to detail in his character, environment, and story development. I especially like that Joseph R. Lallo is active online with his readers. I cannot wait for the next book in the series to be available. Take care everyone. -Josh
  • Free wrench series #1&2

    A fast paced well painted first book that was carried into the second. Mr. Lallo has created a world rusty and familiar enough to beckon the curious visitor. Compelling characters with character and integrity. They read way too fast as you root for the crew of the Wind Breaker. Keep up the great work so more of us can explore the world that has only begun to be revealed.
  • Steam Punk at a high level

    Third book in the series and the third time is the charm. The rowdy crew of the Wind Breaker have found their mojo and have set the world on its ear. Looking forward to the next book.
  • Thoroughly enjoyable

    I'd never read a steampunk novel before this series but if it's all as fun as the Free Wrench series I will definitely be reading more of it.
  • #2 was more a "can't put it down" than #1 so...?

    Just finished this second book of the series and as soon as I were this review I'm starting on the third. Having flown half my life and trying to be at sea the rest this naturally drew me. But here we have stream driven areoships and a complete description of a totally different world while giving the characters a human touch. I love science and science fiction and with this series you get a wonderful dose of both in s completely believable manner. And not all just steampunk. There is an ongoing cat of characters that could be from past or future worlds but could also sit and have a beer with you. A hard to describe (obviously) different and immensely enjoyable book you can't help loving.
  • Thoroughly Enjoyable Story

    Very interesting characters and story development. This story is not just a take off of another story. It is a whole new world and new characters. A nice read for those looking for something new.
  • A lot to like.

    Mr. Lallo continues to plot well and develop his characters. Freewrench showed promise and exuded charm and the series unfolds the back story with admirable restraint. This, the third story in the series, demonstrates real growth for the writer. I await the next installment. If you are new to the series, start reading now.

    Just about anything written by this author has been an enjoyable read for me. The Free Wrench World is not some old SciFi/Fantasy scenario with a few different twists. I found it to be a unique and refreshing change. Thank you, Mr. Lallo!
