#1 – Steam on the Horizon
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 runs out.
#2 – Clouds of War
After fleeing London, the crew of the Horizon finds themselves out of work, luck, and money. However, there are plenty of opportunities for a brave captain willing to risk his airship and crew transporting military supplies in Crimea. War is building across Europe, and tens of thousands of soldiers are dropping dead from starvation and disease across the Crimean peninsula. With the Horizon’s strength and the resoluteness of her captain and crew, the airship can keep soldiers alive and assist with the war efforts.
With time running out to pay his blood debt on the Horizon, Captain Roberts is compelled to risk all in Crimea, pushing his men and airship through raging battlefields, ferocious cold, and attacking Russian airships. But perhaps most dangerous is the cunning, beautiful reporter who pursues the Horizon across nations, keeping the airship splayed across London’s newspapers while highlighting the monstrosities of the Crimean War for all Europe to read.
