Free-Wrench by Joseph R. Lallo Book Summary

The islands of Caldera are a shining jewel in a rather bleak world. A terrible calamity in the past had blanketed much of the world with a toxic "fug." Those who survived were forced to take to the mountains and the skies in wondrous airships. Life has since been a struggle, with only the most ruthless and crafty able to survive. To spare themselves the same fate, the Calderans erected a battery of guns to fend off the airships of the mainland. They isolated themselves from the madness of the world, choosing instead to focus on the pursuits of art and creativity. Few believe the technologically advanced but socially barbarous outsiders have anything to offer. Amanita Graus, though, is hoping that they do.
Nita's mother has lost her livelihood and perhaps soon her life to a terrible disease. Already the black sheep of the family for embracing engineering rather than art, Nita resolves to leave the safety of her home and do whatever it takes to find a cure. For a price, the bizarre crew of an airship called The Wind Breaker are willing to grant her a meeting with their mysterious benefactors, and thus a chance to procure the one thing with a chance to save her mother.
Free-Wrench follows Nita’s adventures in a steampunk world of airships and lunatics. Helping her in her journey are an eccentric crew of smugglers; the gruff Cap’n Mack, the simple but enthusiastic Lil and Coop, the arrogant marksman Gunner, the surly surgeon Butch, and the irritable mascot Wink. To survive and find what she seeks she’ll need to earn their trust, follow their rules, and meet face to face with the people who pull the strings of their society.

Interesting and a little too descriptive.. It kept my interest with the story, but some what wordy with fittings and valves etc.

Great Read,. I really enjoyed reading this story. The characters were spot on and the length was perfect! The backstory kept the book moving to a conclusion as the main story gave me loads of action and excitement. I would read more by this author.

Stupendous. This book is one of the greatest I ever read! There are so many twist and turns. I totally recommend this book!

It was Good. It was surprisingly good, a decently sized novel with action and story, really sets the stage for the next books.

Fun read but short. Fun story that seemed more like a pilot episode for a series.

This is a book. This good book is a book that is good and a book. In this good book there are many good parts of this book that are good. In conclusion, I think that this book is very good, and if you enjoy good books that are good you should read this book.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS. This is a very interesting book and I love it so much

AMAZING. This was probably one of the best books I've ever read .When I found out there was a sequel I nearly had a seizure from excitement. Does anyone else think this would make a good movie?

Five Star. Good.

Just read it already. You’ve seen it in this list for years, you’ve read the description over and over, you’ve debated reading it, and you’ve been close to pulling the trigger every time. Just do it. It’s fantastic. The only downside is there are five books afterward that you will want to immediately read one after the other.

Fun Start to the Summer. I’m trying to get in a lot of books over the Summer and this was a great start. I’ll definitely be finishing the rest of the series, as it is so far. Great for pre-teens and as light reading for teens and adults.

A Great Read. If you want a great read you need to read this!👍

Good book. I started this book just because I was bored. But the book definitely hooked me in and kept me wanting to read more. The descriptions of the landscape and characters were awesome and very imaginative.

Steam punk gold. Great pace and nice characters. Recommend for all ages

One of the best I've read. For those of us who grew up watching Disney this book gives very similar undertones to Atlantis and treasure planet one of the best things I've seen is it captures the best elements of treasure planet the movie and the original treasure island book with a slow start it has the best elements of the story without being too childish and quirky my one complaint is that the Fug people have descriptions that are very lacking I have mental images of all the other characters but I just couldn't seem to see the fug people in my head

Brilliant. This book does what all adventure books should do. Well written with good characters and epic scenes make this a truly fun read. It certainly took me on a journey.

Loved the Story. This was a well written work of art. I do enjoy a good story with a plausibility to it from a future perspective. It was entertaining and I read it in one day; couldn’t stop myself.

<3. Loved everything about it

Love this series. The best book I ever read

Great read. Great read!

Swashbuckling. Pirates, Ichabod cranes, airships, adventure and fun! A female that makes it in the midst of all the chaos!

Decent story but lots of typos. I found some typos in the text that made things confusing. At one point the author wrote that Nita said something that was actually said by Lil. How do the editors let that stuff slide? Not going to pay for the series. Unprofessional.

Quality. Just a great read

Enjoyable characters. Nice quick read with engaging characters. Not quite as deep as the Deacon series (at least not the first book). Looking forward to next one for plane reading.

5 stars. Nice read!

Wonderful book!. I was engaged from the first page until the last. I could see the characters coming alive in my mind and I really didn’t want to put the book down. There is a book 2 but I feel like this can be read as a stand-alone. There isn’t a cliffhanger ending and everything is resolved at the end. Perfect for anyone, young, old, or in between. Well done, author!

Yeah.....Okay, that's more like it. I read entirely too much bad science fiction, but this was a cut above. The characters were not two-dimensional and the world exposition was revealed without anyone going into long-winded speechifying mode. The story played out in a logical manner even though there were a few cracks that were glossed over to move the plot along. All in all, the author maintained the pacing and kept a good balance between dialog and description in his writing. I enjoyed reading this more than any other science fiction books lately. I look forward to the continuing adventures of Nita and the crew of the Wind Breaker.

Descent. It is to long I am in 7th grade its trash ... k. Jk it was good

Fantastic. Great book ! Give it a try

A favorite!. Fabulous steam punk thriller! Read!

Good Story but Typos. The story is pretty good and I am planning to read the rest of the series, but the typos can be confusing at times.

Free Wrench. What a delightfully energetic Work! Wonderful characterizations, fabulous imagery wrapped neatly in a wonderful story!

Great book. Enjoyed reading

I judged the book by its cover,. As a mechanic, I was curious about the steampunk world from the mechanical perspective, and these books nail it. I share Nita's views on redundancy and simplicity to increase efficiency. I appreciated the mechanic-as-artist development.

Amazing. This was the first book I've read in a while, but it was a great one to start off with. I cant wait to read the next!

Awesome Book. From the synopsis, I got the impression that this would only be about an outcast in a xenophobic community going on an adventure to prove her worth. Boy, was I wrong! I was pleasantly surprised by the cast of characters who never get same-y or repetitive, the lack of filler, and the reader-friendly yet non-condescending descriptions of the technology and world. I would definitely recommend reading this!

Fun read. While this isn't the deepest or best written novel out there, the characters are quite charming, the action is non-stop, and it's a just a lot of fun to read. Perfect little novel to get you through a couple of flights!

Great Book. It is a great read. The plat is well set, can’t wait to read book 2!!!

Fun Enjoyable Read. Great story. Fun characters. Very well written.

Good one. All 3 books are good ones!

Great book! Love it. This is by far one of the best books I have ever read!

Awesome series. Loved this entire series. Great writing.

Epic. Bottom text

Pulled me in. Great story with well-written characters. I'll be reading more of this series.

Free wrench. Really fun read! Couldn't put it down! Can't wait to get second book in the series "skykeep".

Free wrench. Superb superb. Some tasks went undone due story. Thanks for a great read.

Really 3 1/2 stars. A better than average book, my first in the genre, it was interesting & fun, but had a good deal of predictable outcomes! I recommend it, as it doesn't require a huge commitment and reads generally smoothly!

Loved it. Very exciting adventure

Free Wrench. Excellent

Great!. From the imaginative settings to the captivating characters, this book is a great read from beginning to end. You’ll fall in love with the crew and by the time you’re finished, you’ll be wanting to read the rest of the series. Strongly recommended for any age!

Well constructed fantasy. For a story developed and completed in such a short time, Free wrench is a huge compliment to the author’s writing talent. Page turning excitement combined with a vivid display of describing in realistic terms a civilisation, that transfers from the author’s mind to the reader’s is a display of talent that has been a pleasure for me to experience. The author’s skill base is all the more evident in the fact that he did not need to use profanity or lewdness to provide a very entertaining story.

Boring, but ok. I thought the plot was too uneventful and boring, most of the book was on the ship and not much happened. However I liked it when they got to the Fug folk and thought that was better.

Cool book. 😛

Entertaining. Great fun, apparently it was finished in three months. Possibly a bit more time and another run through would have beefed up the prose and given the characters a bit more depth, though maybe that's the author's style. The follow up may proof one way or another.

Love it. Great story, would love to read more. Book was addictive!

My review. I thought the book was

Excellent. Just finished ‘Free-wrench’ by Joseph R Lallo, which I got as a free iBook. Pretty good ‘steam punk’ (I.e. alternative tech post apocalyptic). This one’s all steam powered air ships. Reminded me of the game ‘Sky Traders’. I’ll buy the next one

Great read and fast storyline. Read this by chance as a free book. Very well written and a fast action packed novel. Hope the next is as good Mark

Free Wrench cuts a path through the fug. The story is well written and worth the time to read it. If nothing else the characters come to life and the tale is not like anything else out there just now. If you like a tale of pirates and piracy then this will rock your boat all the way to the sky and back.

Meh. Meh

If you like Firefly.... you'll love this. Great wee short story. Looking forward to the sequel.

Great!. I really enjoyed this, would love the world to be explored further.

Top notch steampunk. Great read!

Steam punk gal. If you like a heroine with a knowledge of mechanics and a thirst for adventure, then this is the book for you!

Amazing. I was hooked from the very first chapter would definitely recommend it to any one, most people would enjoy it and I looking forward to reading the next two books.

Totally engrossing!. So good I bought the entire series! Captivating and fast paced, brilliant characters and beautifully detailed. I’ve never read Steampunk before but this is fantastic!

Delightful. I like a good rollicking tale of adventure that can make it nearly impossible to stop reading. Not to mention the laughing out loud. And in saying that, I’m off to read the next adventure in this series.

A slow start to a high adventure. This is one of those free books that you wonder about. It was sitting on my reading list for months before I actually opened it up. Once I got the gist of the story, and the subplots,I couldn't put it down. The best part of the story is it's only the beginning, and the next two books dovetail nicely with the original story and characters. A good yarn, with some suspense and mystery thrown in for good measure. As the setting is not anything that is able to be replicated, your imagination can fill in the blanks. All the good attributes of an excellent story being told are utilized to make this a five star recommendation.

Fug and airships. Want to fall into an adventure set off on a airship gas and steam powered then dive into this adventure a girl from a island of artists goes off to see if she can get a cure for her mother along the way she encounters friends and enemies fug and is not all sure what will happen next

Good Book. Good Book

A fantastic Steampunk adventure book. Have to give this five stars. From start to finish I was totally engrossed. My first experience in Steampunk and I'm glad it was Free-Wrench. Well done Joseph, please make this a series.

Steam punk is fascinating.. I've always been fascinated by steam punk stories. I've seen movies and tv shows that depict it. But this is the first book I've ever read about it. It was exciting, funny and such an interesting world. A great read for anyone who enjoys science fiction.

Good read.. Great book, but a little romance wouldn’t have gone astray.

Thank you. Great story, well written, keep up the good work. Thoroughly enjoying thank you.

Fun. This is a fun and easy book to read with a great story.

Great Little Book. Really enjoyed this book. It’s got a great story line and heaps of space to expanded on and looked around. As a steam punk books it’s one of the most fun I’ve read.

A Hidden Gem.... What began as a boring morning scrolling through books turned into an entire day of non-stop reading when I got this. Having just finished it, I immediately bought the second. An entertaining steampunk narrative that I would recommend to anyone looking for some light yet enjoyable reading. Reserving a 5-star rating in hopes the series continues and gets better with every passing book.

Feedback. Did I ask for this book, no, did I want this book,no, did I have to read it for school, yes,

Good book. I love the creation of steampunk worlds, really like the idea of this story and also the characters. It's a good read.

Bad great. Bad trash ihated

Good. Good

Awesome steampunk novel. It's a good adventure story in the steampunk world. Im hoping there's a sequel in the works in the future!

Huge fun!. This was a fast-paced pack of fun! I loved it. It reminded me a bit of the TV series Firefly :) Hope there are more, I'm gonna get them allll....

Best book. I absolutely love this! It’s so amazing, and gives such description! Can’t wait to read the second book!

A simple story but well written. It was exciting to be captured on an adventure like steam punk.

How was it. Boring
