Skysail Saga series by Josh Rhoades, Mike Rutledge (#1-2)
Requirements: .ePUB Reader, 6.0 MB
Overview: Josh Rhoades leads a life dancing awkwardly between quiet desperation and simple truths. He went to the desert to find himself and came back years later more machine than man; communicating strictly in beeps and boops. Rehabilitation has been slow. Everyone has been commendably patient. Every so often you look into his distant, cold eyes and it's like there's something there. Then the flicker is gone and he's talking about the machine again.
Mike Rutledge lives to create. Whether it be stories, crude renderings, or life, he seeks to find his place in this world by imprinting his asinine imagination onto each surface. The son of an army officer and a wandering horticulturist, he never had a place to call home until meeting a woman and moving to the arctic. Mike's wife has long suffered through his parade of insolence with the undying patience only a mother of two could endure.
Genre: Sci-Fi/Fantasy
1. The Apotheosis Break
Vasili Mikhailovich longs to be in the skies. To travel the world on an airship. To breathe in the clouds, like his father before him.
But the life of a skysailor is violent and short. His father, a legendary airship captain, died mysteriously when the boy was five. Nine years later, Vasili is as old as his father was when he left home. Old enough to leave his frontier village and become a skysailing legend in his own right.
The day comes. But before Vasili leaves home forever, a charismatic traveler arrives. He not only brings answers, but offers Vasili the chance of a lifetime: to join the crew of Vasili’s father’s old airship, the fabled Apotheosis Break.
The twinkling lights of home disappear over the horizon and the boy begins his own adventure, starting his own tale as he learns the truth of his father’s.
Life in the skies is nothing like Vasili’s books. The Break is filled with beguiling shard hunters now at the end of their rope. They have already lost good crew looking for Vasili. And they may still lose everything seeking the legacy of Captain Mikhailovich.
2. The Gestalt Job
Vasili Mikhailovich can remember waking up in the sick bay of the Apotheosis Break. He remembers his father’s old airship crew picking him up for the Schultzwald job. He remembers the theft, the betrayal, the death, and his own narrow escape from the cudgels of wasteland raiders. He reports what he can, but after that, it is like pages in the journal of Vasili’s mind are missing.
The Lord Judge Euric Gestalt, a frontier lawman, takes the boy’s statement. The story is fantastical, exaggerated by the wild imagination of youth, and lacking convenient details. But in it, Gestalt hears what he has been waiting for: wastelanders stole shards of the All-Father from a noble house, and someone survived to tell the tale.
Vasili wants the judge to bring someone, anyone to justice for lying to him, for using him. Instead, Gestalt hires the Break to help with an ongoing investigation, and in return promises repairs, new crew, and handsome pay.
Vasili knows he shouldn’t trust the crew, or even a sworn judge. He should just go home. But if he does, he will never see the wonders of the world as his father did. He will never learn if he has his father’s gifts. Or if pages were missing from his father’s mind as well.
The skies call him. Vasili needs answers, and coin. And the Break needs a deckhand.
