2	''Free Wrench'' is a series of steampunk novels by the independent author Joseph Lallo, written for the National Novel Writing Month. It is the story of [[WrenchWench Amanita Graus]], her [[TheCaptain Captain]], and a RagtagBunchOfMisfits gallivanting about on the good ship ''Wind Breaker''.

4	There are two books in the series, the eponymous ''Free Wrench'' and its sequel, ''Skykeep''.

6	----
7	!!''Free Wrench'' and ''Skykeep'' contain examples of:
8
9	* ActionGirl: Lil certainly, although Nita fits between this and LadyOfAdventure.
10	* AppliedPhlebotinum: Phlogiston floats the airships and powers the [[spoiler: laser beams]] and generally makes the world go round.
11	** In addition, there's the fug, which mutates animals and humans into rather ghastly versions of themselves...when it doesn't kill them.
12	* CoolAirship:
13	** The Dreadnought. When you positively, absolutely, need to put the fear of the fug into an entire continent, accept no substitutes.
14	** The rather ragtag ''Wind Breaker'' qualifies as of ''Skykeep'', when Nita fully repairs it and adds a little Calderan bling as well, so much so that it's called "the most recognizable ship in the Rim" or some such.
15	* EnergyWeapon: [[spoiler: Yes, Gunner finds one. Yes, he uses it.]]
16	* GadgeteerGenius: In a continent where no-one else even knows how to repair their own machinery, or even tell if it's broken, Nita qualifies, or is at least perceived as this by everyone else.
17	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Gunner, and it's probably for the better.
18	* TheCaptain: Captain West, of course.
19	* TheSkyIsAnOcean: Complete with SkyPirates!
20	* TriggerHappy: The appropriately nicknamed Gunner and his treasure trove of guns...including a rocket launcher.
