Sin is now a valued member of COG (Covert Operations Group), and after revealing the traitor in their midst (in The Traitor and the Thief), he and his friends continue their training in order to prevent another war.

They must learn to walk on the outside of an airship without falling off, improve their fighting skills and also work with explosives. Zonda and Sin are still close, even if tensions rise between them about an ineffectual member of COG – Zonda’s meek friend Jasper. Sin’s intrigued/hate relationship with Velvet Von Darque continues to needle him, but life and death situations smooth out some of their misgivings about one another.

Sin has been given another mission by their leader Nimrod Barm, and Zonda and his ex-street gang friend Stanley are alongside. But disaster for Zonda throws her confidence and she struggles with the consequences. Soon they are putting their training to the test aboard a real airship – first on the way to a fun event, which spirals quickly into a chase after Sky Pirates among the clouds.

What they discover defies description and is the stuff of legend. Everybody knows the Clockill aren’t real….?

With crackling dialogue, avidly rich description of steampunk technology and mekanikal machinery, you will feel the shudder of the airships beneath your feet, the wind whipping your clothes around you as you stand clamped to the airship’s envelope, and hear the explosions that rip throughout the story.

Sin, Zonda and Velvet are thrown together in attack and are stretched to their individual limits by a treacherous traitor, power hungry villains, and the Clockill… You have been warned!
