Fever Crumb by Philip Reeve

5.0

Fever Crumb, child apprentice to Dr. Crumb of the Order of Engineers, begins her journey in a giant metal head that serves as a home. She is asked to help on an archaeological dig during which she discovers the outside world and a whole inner world she had no idea she possessed.

I really really really really like Philip Reeve's stuff. It's steam punk and sci fi and always has the most interesting characters - a bar owner/gladiator/mayor of London, a former punk rock head of a riot group, and a whole group of Engineers who have decided that both hair and emotions are irrational and must be removed from their lives. Philip Reeve reads this audiobook himself and his voice is soft, English and totally delightful. Two thumbs WAY up.
