Caught between a burning sky and a falling world.
Lucian D'Arnot and his companions are no longer just explorers; they are prisoners of Inti-Huatana, a lost city hidden deep within a floating asteroid in the stratosphere. Ruled by a fanatic priesthood and powered by ancient, decaying machinery, the city is a marvel of impossible engineering-and a ticking time bomb.
While the mechanic Gaston battles to repair their crippled airship, the Zephyr, using a mix of Victorian steel and alien resonance technology, a greater threat looms. A massive solar storm is approaching. When the asteroid's magnetic shield shatters, the laws of gravity return with a vengeance.
Now, the castaways must forge an uneasy alliance with their captors. With the island plummeting toward Earth, D'Arnot devises a desperate plan: to turn the falling mountain into the largest parachute history has ever seen.
Science clashes with superstition in this high-octane Steampunk adventure. Will their engineering be enough to survive the descent, or will they become a crater in the Andes?
Perfect for fans of classic adventure, and engineering-based survival stories.
