Pirates, pistons, and a missing captain—only one sky-scoundrel can stop Europe from falling apart. In this action-packed steampunk fantasy novel, Albion Clemens isn't your typical corsair. When his American stepfather—renegade sky captain Samuel Clemens—vanishes in Steam Age Europe, Albion must follow a trail of vanished landmarks, royal spies, and mechanical mayhem. But Captain Samuel hasn't just gone missing—he's absconded with the Laputian Leviathan, a legendary artifact that could shift the balance of power across the skies. Now, Europe's aerial navies are in chaos, and rumors swirl of someone stealing monuments straight out of the clouds. With a fierce lady inspector, a rebellious journalist, and a knife-happy helmswoman at his side, Albion plunges into a world of floating cities, clockwork conspiracies, and steam-powered sabotage to uncover the truth—and maybe save the world along the way. Take to the skies in a whirlwind steampunk adventure brimming with airships, sky pirates, and globe-spanning intrigue. Q: What books do you write? A: I'm working on a ray gun series at the moment where I crash noir, Gothic, and western against a scifi backdrop. I adore fantasy. Ultimately, I want to push out of genre completely and go into lit fiction, but that judgement is up to the reader to make. Steampunk will always have a sweet spot with me. THE LANDS BEYOND FUTURE THAT NEVER WAS SPECTRE OF WAR Q: Why should readers pick up your books? A: My wife and few fans say this better than I do. They tell me I don't write weak female characters, and that I offer a voice to the voiceless. They say the writing is like a fine merlot and that the balance of action to hilarity is refreshing. Personally, I think the reason to pick up my books is the same reason you would give for following a stranger into a bar. You might not like it, but at least you will never regret it.
