The Black Lung Captain
RETRIBUTION FALLS was fun, fast-paced, action-packed, brilliant stuff – and THE BLACK LUNG CAPTAIN is even better
Darian Frey is down on his luck. He can barely keep his squabbling crew
fed and his rickety aircraft in the sky. Even the simplest robberies
seem to go wrong. It's getting so a man can't make a dishonest living
any more.
Enter Captain Grist. He's heard about a crashed
aircraft laden with the treasures of a lost civilisation, and he needs
Frey's help to get it. There's only one problem. The craft is lying in
the trackless heart of a remote island, populated by giant beasts and
subhuman monsters.
Dangerous, yes. Suicidal, perhaps. Still,
Frey's never let common sense get in the way of a fortune before. But
there's something other than treasure on board that aircraft. Something
that a lot of important people would kill for. And it's going to take
all of Frey's considerable skill at lying, cheating and stealing if he
wants to get his hands on it...
Strap yourself in for another
tale of adventure and debauchery, pilots and pirates, golems and
daemons, double-crosses and double-double-crosses. The crew of the
Ketty Jay are back!
