Publisher's Summary

The air pirate Andan Cly is going straight. Well, straighter. Although he’s happy to run alcohol guns wherever the money’s good, he doesn’t think the world needs more sap, or its increasingly ugly side effects. But becoming legit is easier said than done, and Cly’s first legal gig - a supply run for the Seattle Underground - will be paid for by sap money.

New Orleans is not Cly’s first pick for a shopping run. He loved the Big Easy once, back when he also loved a beautiful mixed-race prostitute named Josephine Early - but that was a decade ago, and he hasn’t looked back since. Jo’s still thinking about him, though, or so he learns when he gets a telegram about a peculiar piloting job. It’s a chance to complete two lucrative jobs at once, one he can’t refuse. He sends his old paramour a note and heads for New Orleans, with no idea of what he’s in for - or what she wants him to fly.

But he won’t be flying. Not exactly. Hidden at the bottom of Lake Pontchartrain lurks an astonishing war machine, an immense submersible called the Ganymede. This prototype could end the war, if only anyone had the faintest idea of how to operate it.... If only they could sneak it past the Southern forces at the mouth of the Mississippi River.... If only it hadn’t killed most of the men who’d ever set foot inside it.

But it’s those “if onlys” that will decide whether Cly and his crew will end up in the history books or at the bottom of the ocean.

An Exciting Steampunk Adventure

An exciting steampunk adventure, GANYMEDE has great characters, a good story, and action abound. It’s a great addition to the series and is perfect for both old and new fans of THE CLOCKWORK CENTURY.

This story follows the roguish airman Cly as his old flame recruits him for a job that will test him in new and unexpected ways.

I’ve always liked Cly so it was fun to see him get his own story. His ingenuity and resourcefulness were huge boons to the story, and I couldn’t help but love how he helped those characters who became attached to him. Josephine is also a strong woman who will fearlessly meet and conquer whatever challenge is before her. I loved her drive and determination to get right into the fray.

While there were plenty of new faces, it was also fun to catch up on familiar characters as well. It was a great, eclectic mix that made every scene fun to read.

The plot is similar to BONESHAKER’s, in that it follows a group of unlikely heroes as they achieve a mission and hurry to escape danger in one piece. Though there wasn’t a specific antagonist, the post Civil War setting proved to be a challenge enough for the heroes.

I truly enjoyed GANYMEDE and think that fans of steampunk, historical adventures, and strong willed characters will find plenty to enjoy here!
