Description
Eighteen-year-old Kali McAlister enters her steam-powered "dogless sled" in a race, intending to win the thousand-dollar prize and escape remote Moose Hollow forever. The problem? Fortune seekers and airship pirates are after her for the secret to flash gold, her late father's alchemical masterpiece.
With a hand-modified rifle and a pocketful of home-made smoke bombs, Kali wouldn't normally hide from a confrontation, but taking on a whole airship single-handedly is a daunting task. Unfortunately, the other racers won't assist her--they're too busy scheming ways to sabotage her unorthodox sled.
When a sword-slinging stranger shows up, wanting to hire on as her protector, she's sure he has ulterior motives, but he's the only one interested in helping her. The question is...why?
Details:
An 18,000-word steampunk novella set in the Klondike during the Gold Rush.

Would rate this higher if I could.
5By NuravictusThere is only way to put this. OUTSTANDING! Lindsay Buroker is an incredible author and this is another fantastic book to prove it. Even topics I won’t normally read, she draws me right into the story in a way only a few authors have! I hope to see more in the future.Slick little bit of Steampunk
4By Cagekicker69Very well done story... Solid characters, with good dialogue. Set in the wild Yukon of the 1800's, a neat and tidy intro, hopefully, to more stories & books to come.Amazing
