Wonder! at the journey of the dashing skycaptain Byron Kae across sapphire oceans, through smog-choked streets, and to the depths of the sky itself.
Gasp! at an entirely true and accurately rendered tale of pirates, cavalrymen, aethermancers, scientists, and a power to unmake the world.
Plus, hitherto unseen extracts from the meticulous and illuminating journals of Mrs. Miranda Lovelace, rogue scientist and first of the aethermancers.

Why am I waiting for this book? - Actually, I already have a review copy of this and I'll be reading it very soon. This is a sort of sequel to Prosperity which I loved, with separate stories about all the main characters. I discovered Alexis Hall's books just recently but I'm completely blown away by his writing and can't wait to read more of it.
