Aethosphere: Book 1: Coalescence of Shadows and Light (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Another age of turmoil is set to erupt once again as the species of Aethosphere race towards repeating the same old mistakes. War. As the Iron Empire stretches further and further across the skies, counter-forces in the west hatch a desperate plot to strike at the very engine of imperial life, the levitational crystal atmium. Bar Bazzon, hero of the Great Skies War and captain of the strata-frigate Chimera, is an age-weary aeronaut just trying to do right by his crew, but when a cargo run goes awry, and their escape is complicated by savage raiders, Captain Bazzon ends up with more trouble than he had bargained for. Suddenly, with a mysterious acolyte haunting his decks, whispers of impending doom begin to drift on the wind. Now Bar's left with a hard choice. Does he chase adventure and intrigue under the shadow of his dubious past? Or, does he deliver up his cargo and then fly fast and fly hard from all the troubles of a world with too many maladies to count? It's the answer to this choice that puts not only the fate of his crew in jeopardy but also that of an entire isle and its inhabitants... Adventure begins where the forces of shadows and light coalesce. Aethosphere: Coalescence of Shadows and Light is the first part in a sweeping steampunk-inspired saga that chronicles the adventures of the airship Chimera as her crew seeks to uncover a tangled web of destiny. A destiny spanning back to the origins of a broken world, to the monster lurking at the heart of it, to the prophetic dreams of the future, and to the promise of an ancient machine. But do they have the wherewithal to set everything to right? Or might all their good intentions just bring about the final horror that started so long ago?

Autor

Jeremiah D. Schmidt was born in Minnesota in the early 80's, raised in Maine during the 90's, and has frequented Florida when New England winters have proven tiresome. He attended the University of Maine at Orono during a time when the Black Bears hockey team was winning, and received his bachelor's degree in Anthropology back when a liberal arts degree seemed like a good idea.

In the years since, he's worked as a furniture maker, a cinema projectionist, a grounds keeper, a GIS map technician, and an autobiography writer (writing autobiographies in the third person). He's always had a passion for storytelling, not verbally though (he was much to shy for that), and so handcrafted many a book in his childhood. Later, he would start to flush these stories out, after realizing they wouldn't write themselves, and that carrying drywall is a miserable job.

Jeremiah's first real book, Aethosphere: Coalescence of Shadows and Light, is available for e-book purchase and has been read by perhaps a dozen adventurous spirits. His hope is to reach a dozen more.
