Description

Eighteen-year-old Kali McAlister enters her steam-powered "dogless sled" in a race, intending to win the thousand-dollar prize and escape remote Moose Hollow forever. The problem? Fortune seekers and airship pirates are after her for the secret to flash gold, her late father's alchemical masterpiece.

With a hand-modified rifle and a pocketful of home-made smoke bombs, Kali wouldn't normally hide from a confrontation, but taking on a whole airship single-handedly is a daunting task. Unfortunately, the other racers won't assist her--they're too busy scheming ways to sabotage her unorthodox sled.

When a sword-slinging stranger shows up, wanting to hire on as her protector, she's sure he has ulterior motives, but he's the only one interested in helping her. The question is...why?

Details:

An 18,000-word steampunk novella set in the Klondike during the Gold Rush.

    There is only way to put this. OUTSTANDING! Lindsay Buroker is an incredible author and this is another fantastic book to prove it. Even topics I won’t normally read, she draws me right into the story in a way only a few authors have! I hope to see more in the future.
  • Slick little bit of Steampunk

    Very well done story... Solid characters, with good dialogue. Set in the wild Yukon of the 1800's, a neat and tidy intro, hopefully, to more stories & books to come.
