Heavy Sky (Skies of Azoria Book 1) Kindle Edition

A Federation probe reached a distant world and sent back an impossible report: a livable planet with no surface, only islands suspended above a global storm. Then the signal was gone.Expeditions and colonists followed. None of them came back — equipment failed down there, and the storm bled power from every system.Three hundred years later, a new expedition found the world thriving, its settlers flying zeppelins and building kingdoms.Yet the expedition's priority is not the world or its people. It's the mineral keeping the islands in the air, even if studying it means breaking them apart.In the Heights, a young eagle rider launches toward a mythic islet, hoping to save his dying home. A Technocracy pilot wakes in a pine canopy after an ambush kills her wingman. Above and below them, a fallen noble flies under a corsair's flag, and a Federation medic works orders she no longer trusts.They found the Storm has started draining whatever keeps the islands aloft. And the islands will drop from the sky.The first of the Skies of Azoria trilogy. A mix of science fiction, steampunk and adventure. Read more
