BENEATH A FEARFUL MOON is
moving forward. Here’s a teaser for you
on a “new” steampunk engine that I pulled together. Really enjoyed this
process:
The big
engines were a marvel of the modern age. Some timberjigs, like the
Montferrands, walked like giants through the forest on saucer-shaped feet.
Others, like the Dolbeers, used a set of treads similar to the motive trains to
roll over the ground. The engines produced immense heat and smelled of burnt
oil. They required the operators to rotate in and out of the “oven” on an
hourly basis, while the other men ran the saws and clawed-arms to cut and move
the felled timber. It was hard, hot, brutal work, but a solid team of
timberjiggers could fell, trim, and transport a dozen good-sized logs in an
hour. A good crew operating a timberjig could do twice the work in half the
time.
