Though they live by the skin of their teeth, they have their health (at least when they can find enough food and avoid the Imperial Labor Gatherers) and each other. When a new exile with no memory of his escape or even his own name seeks shelter in their camp he brings new dangers with him and secrets about the terrible future that awaits all those who have struggled has to live free of the bonds of the empire's Machineworks.

Ooooooo! Doesn't this sound good? Another cool steampunk series. I love the setting: a North America still under British control. This sounds like quite an adventure.

After coming back from death as Reboots and being trained by HARC as soldiers, Wren and Callum have finally escaped north, where they hope to find a life of freedom. But when they arrive at the Reboot Reservation, it isn't what they expected. Under the rule of a bloodthirsty leader, Micah, the Reboots are about to wage an all-out war on the humans. Although Wren's instincts are telling her to set off into the wilderness on their own and leave the battle far behind, Callum is unwilling to let his human family be murdered. When Micah commits the ultimate betrayal, the choice is made for them. But Micah has also made a fatal mistake...he's underestimated Wren and Callum. (Summary from Goodreads)
I just read this 1st book not too long ago and loved it! It was full of adventure, high tech brilliance, and a world that's all broken but could be better...I am such a sucker for books like this when they are written well and this one was great. I cannot wait for book 2!
