• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

May, 1927 finds the combined crews of the airships Daedalus and Percival in coordinated pursuit of the Silver Star commando forces that murdered Duke's original crew and took Rivets hostage.

Intervening in a tribal uprising in Kenya, "Captain Stratosphere" Jack McGraw & Dorothy "Doc" Starr find their replacement mechanic in the form of a young Kikuyu woman and technical prodigy.

Fighting their way through the markets of Bombay to the streets of Bangkok, braving storms and enemy attacks at every step, Jack, Doc, and the rest of the Daedalus crew must voyage to the far side of the world, where a mysterious island and its inhabitants are in dire peril. Along the way, they must learn to trust new allies and set aside old notions of empire.

Based on the Airship Daedalus comics by Todd Downing and Brian Beardsley, Legend of the Savage Isle is book #4 in the Airship Daedalus Saga, a sequel to The Golden City.

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!
