I wasn't aware a sequel had been written, though, so that's something I need to get.
I'm about 1/4 of the way through Dreadnought atm. It's good, but it's not really a sequel. It does take place in same fictional universe, and same time period, but it's not a continuation of the Boneshaker story. It's completely separate.
Another book in this series is Clementine, which I just finished, and I would highly recommend. Again, not a true sequel, but a few common characters at least.
Edit: Oh yeah, bought (

Clementine was a limited edition hardcover (and always available digital) release, unfortunately (actually, google tells me that the paperback is due out sometime this year). I'm still kind of annoyed that I didn't order it when I had the chance (amazon marketplace has it new starting at $65, ffs). I'd get the nook version just to read it, but I don't like paying money for books that I can't hold or put on my shelf.
And *spoiler*Dreadnought is much more closely related to the events of Boneshaker than you think. Mercy Swakhammer. I don't know what Cherie Priest's overarching plan for the universe is, but the first two at least seem to be about moving people into place before the full on zombie apocalypse.

There's something really really wrong with this statement. I'm assuming you actually have a nook?
(kindle here)

The Android Nook app, because it's a slicker looking e-reader app than the Kindle App. I'm considering getting a Nook Colour just to root it and install Honeycomb (thus giving me a decent mid-range Android tablet PC for $250), but I haven't made up my mind yet.
