Steam on the Horizon | Melissa Ann Conroy
2 posts | 2 read
When the boiler explodes on the airship Lucky Lady, killing three men, first mate Gavin Roberts finds himself in the crosshairs of one of the most powerful men in Europe. Sir Cornelius Smothers, an iron-fisted shipping tycoon, has lost his youngest son in the boiler explosion and he holds Roberts responsible for the accident. Determined to rescue both the Lucky Lady and his own name, Roberts negotiates a deal with Smothers to purchase the ruined airship within three years, a bargain which promises certain death if he defaults. Renaming his crippled airship the Horizon, Roberts begins to rebuild her with the help of an eccentric inventor and a motley handful of loyal crew members. When the Horizon rises to life again as the fastest airship in the sky, she earns fame but also increases Smothers' wrath against her new captain. Battling airship pirates and dodging malfunctioning automatons, Roberts must fight to keep the Horizon in the air and pay off his debt before his luck and his time run out.

Not all goggles and gears, this steampunk novel is all adventure with the random automaton & steam engine. We follow Captain Roberts of the airship Horizon as he works to repair the ship after an explosion & rebuild his crew, all while trying to keep out of the attention of Sir Smothers, the man who controls shipping across the globe.
Suspense, air pirates, &Victorian robots, what else do you need?
