Storm Thief
by Chris Wooding
Orokos is a crumbling city built on a plateau in the middle of the ocean. Probability storms strike at random. as the storms blow through the city, things change, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse, but always at random. The government, bent on fighting the chaos of the probability storms, keeps an iron control of the city. People who break the rules disappear.
Rail was once a normal boy, but was left unable to breathe on his own after a storm. Now he must wear a respirator. Of course, in order to get the respirator that keeps him alive, he had to agree to serve the thief-mistress. While on an errand with Moa, a young orphan girl he saved during her first night in the ghetto, he steals a valuable artifact that will change both of their lives forever.
They go on the run with the artifact and meet Vago, a golem, on the way. Vago is part man, part machine and reminded me of Frankenstein. They eventually discover the answer to the probability storms, but will it be in time to save the city?
