5/22/2023 0 Comments Retribution Falls by Chris WoodingPirates, sky-ships, and golems are just the trappings for a far-flung adventure of stunning imagination and brilliant craftsmanship. Clarke Award "If Robert Louis Stevenson and Patrick O''Brien had teamed up to write a rollicking fantasy, Chris Wooding''s Retribution Falls would be the result. That's if they can get there without getting blown out of the sky. And the ultimate answer for captain and crew may lie in the legendary hidden pirate town of Retribution Falls. Frey realizes that they've been set up to take a fall but doesn't know the endgame. But when the attack goes horribly wrong, Frey suddenly finds himself the most wanted man in Vardia, trailed by bounty hunters, the elite Century Knights, and the dread queen of the skies, Trinica Dracken. It's an easy take-and the payoff will finally make him a rich man. So when an opportunity arises to steal a chest of gems from a vulnerable airship, Frey can't pass it up. Malvery is a disgraced doctor, drinking himself to death. Jez is the new navigator, desperate to keep her secret from the rest of the crew. Crake is a daemonist in hiding, traveling with an armored golem and burdened by guilt. Fate has not been kind to the captain of the airship Ketty Jay -or his motley crew. Sky piracy is a bit out of Darian Frey's league.
