The Clockwork Century is an Alternate History created by Cherie Priest, in which the American Civil War has raged for nearly two decades thanks to Steampunk and Diesel Punk technology. Oh, and there are also zombies. Cherie Priest created the series as a literary magnum opus for Steampunk fans. So far she has written four novels; Boneshaker, Dreadnought, Clementine and Ganymede, and a novelette Tanglefoot which can be read on-line. Another novel, The Inexplicables, is on the way.
