Age of Steam	comment	The Age of Steam novels by Devon Monk are a series that combines Weird West and Steampunk. The series looks to be orphaned, with the third novel having come out in 2013 and leaving the series unfinished.In a version of the American wild west where steampunk contraptions, automatons, and genius inventors exist along side the supernatural, Cedar Hunt is a werewolf. He and his brother were cursed by a Pawnee god to transform into wolves and destroy the Strange— the malevolent, otherworldly creatures that seek to tear the mortal world apart. Unfortunately, Cedar has no control over his violent wolf-self, and after a disastrous first shift, he fears his brother may be lost for good.On his quest to find both his brother and some way to remove his curse, Cedar runs across the Madder brothers, three eccentric miners who know more about the Strange than they let on and who insist Cedar help them hunt down powerful objects called Holders. Along the way, Cedar and the Madders also join up with Mae Lindson, a witch who's afraid of using her powers and who has come to the attention of the Strange, and Rose Small, a young woman with a knack for gadgetry and a mysterious past.
