Cherie Priest
The air pirate Andan Cly is going straight. Well, straight,er,. Although heâ€™s happy to run alcohol guns wherever the moneyâ€™s good, he doesnâ€™t think the world needs more sap, or its increasingly ugly side-effects. But becoming legit is easier said than done, and Clyâ€™s first legal gigâ€”a supply run for the Seattle Undergroundâ€”will be paid for by sap money.,New Orleans is not Clyâ€™s first pick for a shopping run. He loved the Big Easy once, back when he also loved a beautiful mixed-race prostitute named Josephine Earlyâ€”but that was a decade ago, and he hasnâ€™t looked back since. Joâ€™s still thinking about him, though, or so he learns when he gets a telegram about a peculiar piloting job. Itâ€™s a chance to complete two lucrative jobs at once, one he canâ€™t refuse. He sends his old paramour a note and heads for New Orleans, with no idea of what heâ€™s in forâ€”or what she wants him to fly.,But he wonâ€™t be flying. Not exactly. Hidden at the bottom of Lake Pontchartrain lurks an astonishing war machine, an immense submersible called the ,Ganymede,. This prototype could end the war, if only anyone had the faintest idea of how to operate itâ€¦. If only they could sneak it past the Southern forces at the mouth of the Mississippi Riverâ€¦ If only it hadnâ€™t killed most of the men whoâ€™d ever set foot inside it. ,But itâ€™s those â€œif onlysâ€ that will decide whether Cly and his crew will end up in the history books, or at the bottom of the ocean.
