Bücher der Reihe The Cerulean Airship

In a Neo-Victorian London of mechanical horses and aerial gondotrams, airship engineer Jasper Kendall Asher has a bright future ahead as the youngest member of the Engineers Order and a secret agent in Her Majesty's service. But a terrible accident brutally changes the course of his career, sending him instead to a dull life as a mechanic among the poor of St. Giles.Three years later, unusual circumstances give him the opportunity to return into service as the main engineer for the Queen's new airship-and a chance to uncover the truth behind the unfortunate event that changed his life.Along with an outlandish woman navigator, a reckless female agent, and his taciturn brother, Jasper resumes his work. From his workbench, to London's airharbour, to remote Scottish villages, he follows the trail of a scientific discovery that promises to reveal much darker plots than he initially imagined in his search for answers.

In a race against time, Edmund Asher, Earl of Wyverstone and spymaster extraordinaire, has only one choice - to win.With one month left until the Engineers World Gathering and a powerful enemy on the loose, the odds are not favouring the Earl of Wyverstone. However, an unexpected request for help from the Engineering School in Paris could be the breakthrough he has hoped for - or The Cerulean Lady's misfortune.The return of an old acquaintance bent on revenge doesn't help either, bringing England's spymaster on the verge of losing not only his position, but also the people he loves. Well-hidden secrets threaten to come to light, leaving Edmund with only one option - to catch his archenemy soon. Even if that means bending rules and joining Carmina Harcourt, the Classified Affairs' queen of disguise, in a deadly mission in France.Alas, as he would soon discover, the man he chases is just a cog in a more complex - and darker - mechanism, spanning not only England, but the Continent as well. And he might be too late to stop it...
