The Secret War series by Raven Bond (books 1&2)
Requirements: ePUB / MOBI / AZW Reader, 2.4MB
Overview: I have always been interested in the fantastical, the otherworldly, and what might have been. From an early age, history has intrigued me, and I always felt at home with figures from the distant past. My love of science and speculative fiction began with the misfiling of Robert A Heinlein’s Have Space Suit Will Travel in the children’s section of the local library. This started a lifetime love affair with science fiction and fantasy novels.
Genre: Fiction, Sci-fi / Fantasy, Steampunk
#1 – Wind Dancer
The Invaders came from the sky, unleashing their death rays on the Earth. From Mars some said, or beyond. Cities fell before them, one after the other. A Great Alliance was formed between countries who had played at war against each other in the time before. Queen Victoria brought together a convocation of scientists, among them the Savant, Tesla. The knowledge of city shields and ways to fight against the foe went out to everyone who would listen, in all corners of the world. Mad science and mystery worked hand in hand with human courage.
Thirty years later, in the 1890’s, the world has changed beyond recognition. The Invaders have been driven off, some say all killed, but is that story just a way to sleep at night? Those who are left covet the power they had before the Reconstruction. Others embrace this new world and the freedom it brings after the War.
The Airship Wind Dancer is led by Captain William Hunting Owl, a tribesman from the Americas. Together with his first officer, a former British Air captain, and a Hindu Sorceress Assassin, he fights to keep his ship flying. The crew of the privateer comes from every Free Port still standing. They seek to make a living in a world that has few rules except for the Articles that guide life on the ship. Their shipmates are their family; all have lost something they held dear, and few speak of it. William Hunting Owl and Lawrence Rogers seek to discover who killed Will’s father. They are willing to do whatever it takes to find their answers.
#2 – Alien Devices
It is 1896 in Hong Kong. After the War with the Alien Invaders who destroyed much of the world-that-was, the Privateer Air Ship Wind Dancer tries to stay flying. Its crew comes from every Free Port still standing.
Captain William Hunting Owl, An American Tribesman, is seeking the Black Air Ships who killed his father’s ship. It is a secret quest, known only to a disgraced Englishman, Rogers, his First Officer. They include the Arms Master in their secret; Saira Brighton is a deadly warrior and she is a Hindu sorcerer-assassin.
Together, they race against time to find their Enemy, while consorting with Crime Lords, Scholars, Savants and rogue elements of the British Secret Service. The Scholar, Abigail Hadley, searches for her father who has disappeared while hunting for Alien power devices. Strange, zombie-like creatures turn up wherever they go.
Are these all separate things, or are they strangely connected? The world is in more danger than ever, and the Wind Dancer and the Savant, Tesla, may be the only hope for those most in peril.
