Railsea's a rare example of good YA, very Melville/Defoe/Stevenson high seas adventure. Certain of his books could be called memes (mostly Iron Council, he goes full Marx and it's embarrassing), but I appreciate the fact he mostly does standalones, that way if something doesn't work out the next book'll be completely different - it's not like committing to a big multipart saga.

Railsea's got giant moles, comfy train engineer-ing, and a lot of jokes for the poor sods who read all of Moby Dick.
