Outrageous Fortune: Fortune Chronicles 2
About this ebook
Captain John Pitte was once commanded one of the Air Corps' finest vessels.
Then one disastrous day cost him his command, his career, and nearly everything else.
Now he commands the Colonial Airship Errant, a patched-together freighter crewed by misfits, outcasts, and survivors who've somehow become the closest thing he has to family.
Unfortunately, their future is rapidly running out of sky … and money.
So when a mysterious employer offers John a lucrative, no-questions-asked job, he takes the gamble.
It's a mistake.
The cargo is more dangerous than anyone imagined. Saboteurs stalk the Errant, powerful enemies want what she's carrying, and keeping his battered ship in the air may prove easier than keeping his ragtag crew alive.
Especially when one member of that crew has somehow become impossible for John to leave behind.
Welcome to the CAS Errant, where jobs are scarce, the engines dodgy, and crew equals family.
Outrageous Fortune is the third book of The Fortune Chronicles, bringing a new crew of unlikely heroes aboard a battered airship for daring escapes, witty banter, found family, dangerous secrets, and the questionable decisions that keep adventures interesting.
Perfect for readers who love the found-family crew of Firefly, the rollicking adventure of Treasure Planet, and stories where loyalty, humor, and heart travel alongside the danger.
