The air pirate Andan Cly is going straight. Well, straight"er."
Although he's happy to run alcohol guns wherever the money's good,
he doesn't think the world needs more sap, or its increasingly ugly
side-effects. But becoming legit is easier said than done, and
Cly's first legal gig--a supply run for the Seattle
Underground--will be paid for by sap money.
New Orleans is not Cly's first pick for a shopping run. He loved
the Big Easy once, back when he also loved a beautiful mixed-race
prostitute named Josephine Early--but that was a decade ago, and he
hasn't looked back since. Jo's still thinking about him, though, or
so he learns when he gets a telegram about a peculiar piloting job.
It's a chance to complete two lucrative jobs at once, one he can't
refuse. He sends his old paramour a note and heads for New Orleans,
with no idea of what he's in for--or what she wants him to
fly.
But he won't be flying. Not exactly. Hidden at the bottom of Lake
Pontchartrain lurks an astonishing war machine, an immense
submersible called the "Ganymede." This prototype could end the
war, if only anyone had the faintest idea of how to operate it....
If only they could sneak it past the Southern forces at the mouth
of the Mississippi River... If only it hadn't killed most of the
men who'd ever set foot inside it.
But it's those "if onlys" that will decide whether Cly and his crew
will end up in the history books, or at the bottom of the
ocean.
