Der ist der ersÂte aus einer ReiÂhe namens THE CINDER SPIRES und trägt den Titel THE AERONAUT´S WINDLASS. Jetzt gibt es nicht nur ein CoverÂbild, sonÂdern auch noch eine InhaltsÂanÂgaÂbe. Von Jim hinsÂelf auf seiÂner FaceÂbookÂseiÂte.
SinÂce time immeÂmoÂriÂal, the SpiÂres have shelÂteÂred humaÂniÂty, toweÂring for miles over the mist-shrouÂded surÂface of the world. Within their halls, arisÂtoÂcraÂtic houÂses have ruled for geneÂraÂtiÂons, deveÂloÂping sciÂenÂtiÂfic marÂvels, fosÂteÂring trade alliÂances, and builÂding fleets of airÂships to keep the peace.
CapÂtain Grimm comÂmands the merÂchant ship, PreÂdaÂtor. FierÂceÂly loyÂal to SpiÂre AlbiÂon, he has taken their side in the cold war with SpiÂre AuroÂra, disÂruptÂing the enemy’s shipÂping lines by attackÂing their carÂgo vesÂsels. But when the PreÂdaÂtor is severÂely damaÂged in comÂbat, leaÂving capÂtain and crew grounÂded, Grimm is offeÂred a proÂpoÂsiÂtiÂon from the SpiÂreÂarch of Albion—to join a team of agents on a vital misÂsiÂon in exchÂanÂge for fulÂly resÂtoÂring PreÂdaÂtor to its fightÂing gloÂry.
And even as Grimm underÂtaÂkes this danÂgeÂrous task, he will learn that the conÂflict betÂween the SpiÂres is mereÂly a preÂmoÂniÂtiÂon of things to come. Humanity’s anciÂent eneÂmy, silent for more than ten thousand years, has begun to stir once more. And death will folÂlow in its wake …
THE AERONAUT´S WINDLASS erscheint am 29. SepÂtemÂber 2015, zwiÂschenÂdurch hieĂź es auf AmaÂzon mal, er käme bereits Anfang Juli raus, aber das wurÂde offenÂbar wieÂder reviÂdiert. Wie auch immer: Shut up and take my money! Schon lanÂge vorÂbeÂstellt.
