Airship Daedalus: The Golden City
 |
April¸ 1927 finds adventurer-pilot Jack McGraw and occult expert Dorothy "Doc" Starr extracting a priceless Celtic artifact from a long-sealed tomb on a windswept Scottish island. Following a shootout with Silver Star commandos and a desperate dogfight into the eye of a storm¸ the airship Daedalus limps back to London - only to discover a former crewmate has gone missing¸ along with his own airship and its crew! Using nothing but a few scant clues and their own wits¸ Jack¸ Doc and the Daedalus crew must locate the airship Percival and their old friend "Duke"¸ encountering myriad dangers along the way - and culminating in a chaotic battle through ancient ruins beneath the Egyptian desert. Based on the Airship Daedalus comic strip by Todd Downing and Brian Beardsley¸ The Golden City is book #2 in the Airship Daedalus saga¸ and a sequel to Assassins of the Lost Kingdom by E.J. Blaine. It's a retro-pulp action yarn in which mages¸ mad science¸ secret societies¸ occult threats¸ and lost worlds meet globe-trotting¸ sky-high aerial action and two-fisted heroism¸ like the pulp novels of old! Note: This digital edition includes ePub and Mobi (Kindle) versions of the novel.
