To Gill K
England has abolished slavery, but not all are willing to let
the lucrative trade go without a fight. The Royal Navy is charged
with keeping the Caribbean clean of slavers, pirates and
privateers… but even in the Navy, there are those who put profit
before principle.
Captain James Hartwell rebels against the
abhorrent plans of his commanding officer to run a private slave
trade. In doing so, he seemingly signs not only his own death
warrant but that of his sister and loyal crew. All seems lost,
until a blazing fireball hits the ocean.
Escaping on an obsolete galleon, Hartwell
must evade the chasing English forces, protect his sister and his
crew and deal with his near-overpowering attraction to a flesh and
metal woman found floating in the ocean where the fireball
fell.
Can they survive on the ancient, rotting
galleon? What is happening to the crew as they develop frightening,
almost demonic, powers? What part does the enigmatic Lady
Mechatronic play in their transformation?
Pirates, flying saucers, a cyborg alien,
steampunk and passion collide in the Caribbean. At least Hartwell
has some absinthe to keep him sane. But this is just the
beginning.
The first book of a brand new
series.
