Kid tinkerers that have suffered a maiming accident are carted off to a home only to live under tyranny, until a new recruit arrives and they take over. Will they get away with it for long?

Really enjoyed this short story Clockwork Fagin. Appropriate for preteens, a little too gross/graphic for younger. Great transportation to another world, and the characters have some depth. Might be a good intro to the breadth of sci-fi -- it's not all space ships!

This was a fun story, written in an authentic voice. I look forward to seeing the whole collection when it is released. I hope more anthologies will offer a complete story to try out this way rather than just the standard abreviated free samples.

This is a hard one to review. At the end, I can look back and say that I enjoyed it; but at the middle, I'd have said it was awful. It took me much longer than the book was long to get into the writing and the plot.
Overall, I'd say that if you enjoy this author, or his type if work, enjoy. However, if not you may want to skip it.

Overview
Imagine an alternate universe where tinkerers and dreamers craft and re-craft a world of automatons, clockworks, calculating machines, and other marvels that never were. Where scientists and schoolgirls, fair folk and Romans, intergalactic bandits, utopian revolutionaries, and intrepid orphans solve crimes, escape from monstrous predicaments, consult oracles, and hover over volcanoes in steam-powered airships. In Steampunk!, fourteen masters of speculative fiction, including two graphic storytellers, embrace the genre's established themes and refashion them in surprising ways and settings as diverse as Appalachia, Ancient Rome, future Australia, and alternate California.
