Incident in Analogue

Cosma and the Painting

2019

Iain Grant can’t have anything nice. When a valuable piece of art is stolen from his shop in Analogue Alley, he has two choices: wait for the police to find it or enlist the help of the underground. Grant isn’t a thief and he’s not sure becoming one fits him—the (not-so) honorable ex-commander. But stealing it back promises better results than slogging through the red-tape the detectives from the police station follow. And yet . . . if he teams up with the legendary retired cat-burglar, Cosma Kenyon, Iain can stand aside and let a real thief do the dirty work. He just has to find a way to pay her. Because thieves don’t work for free. Zeppelin rides across the aether-way, death-defying races on strange planets, meeting all the charming and not-so-charming characters of the 6-Moons. Can Iain Grant keep his hands clean or will circumstances force him to accept the harsh realities of the power structures of the City of Jade Spires? He’s this close to becoming a pauper. If he can’t get his painting back, what future will he have? Get your copy today and find out now!
