Ruby Celeste and the Ghost Armada (Volume 1)
Prepare to enter a dangerous place—the world of sky pirates!
After arriving at The Pharmacologist’s Eden, a grand floating port run by the cut-throat Rhod Stein, Ruby Celeste discovers the deckhand she arranged to purchase has been sold out from under her and replaced with a man kidnapped from the world’s surface. So after dispatching his guarding henchmen, she snatches him and then flees—but not before blowing a gaping hole in the SkyPort.
But unbeknownst to Ruby, Stein survives the blast. And along with the assassins now hot on her tail, she has other problems to contend with: the frail man she kidnapped and his newfound place on her ship, a pervasive series of dangerous electrical malfunctions—and what about the diary she finds on a derelict ship? Are its pages filled with the deranged words of a madman—or does it really hold the key to finding the mysterious Ghost Armada?
Came for the action, but the people won me over.,
I found this book very hard to put down once it got going, which was almost straight away. Most of the book did feel like a setup for the series, introducing characters and so on, but quite frankly that’s where the book shines as the characters are some of the best I’ve read in a good long while. You want pick up the next volume just to see how they are all doing. The captain herself is very intriguing and I look forward to see how she developed.
This volume may be bait to lure me into the rest of the series, but it worked and I can’t wait to read the next book. The only problem being that I’m going in with very high expectations.
I enjoyed this book from the moment i started reading,
A brilliant read!,
If you’re getting this on Kindle, it’s free, which for something like this is an absolute steal. I look forward to starting the next book in the series as well as picking up the spin-off novel (The Final Flight of Castle Adeline) which p
Highly recommended!
