With all the havoc caused by the pandemic over the past couple of years, and its effects on the publishing industry as general, it’s true that, like other houses, releases have been slow in coming from ’Warp Central, but we’re slowly making headway—as evidenced by our newest upcoming title.
On Wings of Steel is a sci-fi steampunk adventure novel from Richard C. White, author of the SWC books Terra Incognito: A Guide to Building the Worlds of Your Imagination, Chasing Danger: The Case Files of Theron Chase, Harbinger of Darkness, For a Few Gold Pieces More, Troubleshooters, Incorporated: Night Stalkings, and The Chronicles of the Sea Dragon Special. Here’s the back-cover copy to pique your interest:
Erica Halgrim is a proud new member of the Angels of Steel: a courier service whose all-female members navigate through the streets of Underworld and the skies of the Aerie with the aid of winged flying devices that allow them to traverse the toxic Dark Cloud that separates the downtrodden masses on the ground from the wealthy socialites who live aboard enormous airships.
Her job becomes secondary, however, when Erica attends a soiree at the Aerie with her fellow Angels and witnesses what appears to be an unfortunate accident—but could it perhaps have been murder?—and she becomes a suspect.
Almost immediately, her life is put in danger as various forces attempt to either jail her or shut her up—permanently. Most terrifying of all, though, is that it may be one of the people closest to her who is looking to clip her wings…
Cover art is provided by Beto Lima, whose digital paintings have graced the covers of such role-playing game supplements and collectible card games as Eternal, Fey Encounters, The Mahrym Project, and Monsters of Murka.
On Wings of Steel will soon be available in print and digital formats. Stay tuned for further information!
