Romulus Buckle and the City of the Founders
Richard Ellis Preston, JR.
Fiction P926r
In a post-apocalyptic
world of endless snow, Captain Romulus Buckle and the stalwart crew of
the Pneumatic Zeppelin must embark on a perilous mission to rescue their
kidnapped leader, Balthazar Crankshaft, from the impenetrable City of
the Founders. Steaming over a territory once known as Southern
California — before it was devastated in the alien war — Buckle
navigates his massive airship through skies infested with enemy war
zeppelins and ravenous alien beasties in this swashbuckling and
high-octane steampunk adventure. Life is desperate in the Snow World,
and death is quick. Buckle and his ship’s company must brave poisoned
wastelands of Noxious Mustard and do battle with forgewalkers,
steampipers, and armored locomotives as they plunge from the skies into
the underground prison warrens of the fortress city.
Captain Romulus
Buckle must lead the Pneumatic Zeppelin and its crew of ne’er-do-wells
on a desperate mission where he must risk everything to save Balthazar
and attempt to prevent a catastrophic war that could wipe out all that
is left of civilization and the entire human race.
