Would you be a Clockworker or die an agonizing death? In this steampunk horror the author introduces the Clockwork Plague. For many, the Clockwork Plague causes a hard, painful death; however, there are some lucky few who are apparently helped by the Clockwork Plague and end up enhanced.

Alice Michaels is not the happiest character. She believes she infected her family with the Clockwork Plague. The only family member Alice has left is her father. Alice decides that she will do anything to help her father and make him happy one last time. When Mr. Williamson comes to town, Alice goes along with his advances, knowing her father would rest easy with the knowledge that she was taken care of.

Of course, that lullaby cannot last forever. Alice begins to realize that she is missing out on life. She helps quell a zombie attack and meets someone who makes her heart flutter... leading her to question her choices. What will Alice decide? How will this novel play out?

Alice is a character the reader will like. She is fun, reasonable, and exhilarating to read about. Gavin is another important character, how the reader reacts to him will be fun to see. Many of the secondary characters have a fairly large impact on the novel. The events could have been paced slightly faster, but the overall feel of the story is exhilarating. Steampunk fans will enjoy THE DOOMSDAY VAULT!
