About the book

Sky piracy is a bit out of Darian Frey's league. Fate has not been kind to the captain of the airship Ketty Jay--or his motley crew. They are all running from something. Crake is a daemonist in hiding, traveling with an armored golem and burdened by guilt. Jez is the new navigator, desperate to keep her secret from the rest of the crew. Malvery is a disgraced doctor, drinking himself to death. So when an opportunity arises to steal a chest of gems from a vulnerable airship, Frey can't pass it up. It's an easy take--and the payoff will finally make him a rich man.

But when the attack goes horribly wrong, Frey suddenly finds himself the most wanted man in Vardia, trailed by bounty hunters, the elite Century Knights, and the dread queen of the skies, Trinica Dracken. Frey realizes that they've been set up to take a fall but doesn't know the endgame. And the ultimate answer for captain and crew may lie in the legendary hidden pirate town of Retribution Falls. That's if they can get there without getting blown out of the sky.

German Review on GosuReviews You loved the TV-show Firefly? Then this is a book you should definitely give a try. It has many parallels to the show, but is still different enough to be interesting. It's not SciFi, but Steampunk. Even though I am not a fan of this genre I really enjoyed this world. It reminded me so much of an old PC-game "Crimson Skies", where there are also a lot of zeppelins, pirates and bounty hunters and this book is equally entertaining. A fast paced and action packed book, good fun to read.

My brand of humor, a rag-tag band of misfits, morally gray characters, steampunk and sky-piracy. Amazing, strong and interesting female characters. All boxes checked. LOVED it and immediately ordered the other 3 books of the series. THE perfect book to finish my reading-challenge goal of 2023.
