The nephele ship: the trilogy collection (a steampunk adventure)

The complete collection of The Nephele Ship series! 

This boxed set includes all three volumes. Follow the crew of the Nephele Ship through: 

Volume One - The Frozen Workshop: 
After a catastrophe that covered half the world in inhospitable ice, a team of treasure hunters finds a lead about a mysterious workshop said to contain miraculous and wondrous inventions that could be worth fortunes. 

When the rival guild of archaeologists known as Antimony Eye turns their attention on the same workshop and will do anything it takes to get there first, Captain Austin Strallahan and his crew must think quickly and act even quicker to assure their arrival at the workshop before the Eyes, who seem to know something more about this stash than the captain does... 

Will the Nephele Ship reach the treasure in time? 

Volume Two - The Fire-Beasts: 
Captain Strallahan and the crew of the Nephele have arrived at the mythical workshop, but when they go inside, they will find much more than just dolls! Steam-powered automatons, human-sized dolls, and even something that might not belong to this world, all await them in the bowels of this madman's sanctuary. 

Will they be able to escape with the greatest treasure-- their lives? Will the Nephele and it's crew survive? 

Volume Three - The New Capital: 
Captain Austin Strallahan of the airship Nephele is not a hero, under normal circumstances. Faced with a disaster that could wipe life off the planet, though, he has no choice but to take his crew and meet it head-on! In the frozen workshop they met the fire-beasts, who have caused the whole problem. With a little help from an enemy and the appearance of an unexpected ally, they might just succeed in saving the world. 

But, will they live to tell the tale? Find out in the finale of the Nephele Ship trilogy!

Sample text:

In the aftermath of the whole ordeal, the Antimony Eyes were thrown into internal chaos as those in power vied for leadership since Longfellow was lost in action. The Nephele gained a crew member, a charming, pale girl named Diana who had an intimate knowledge of managing all the little things about a place. Dale was still getting used to his new hand, but the fact that he could switch it out at the wrist for all kinds of tools now made it seem better, and the ring on his other hand matched one on the hand of our engineer, Liza.       

We all sat together in the Copper Cup a week later.    

"You think we'd ought to tell anyone what really happened?" asked Dale, flexing his clockwork fingers.         

Luke drank from his flagon, and set it down. "Who would believe us?"           

"And if they did believe us," I added, "They would only believe the parts that incriminate us as being witches."           

Diana drank from her cup, water that she would use in her boiler system. "I think we had ought to avoid letting too many people know that the world was in danger under their very feet, and none of them knew."          

Perhaps she was right. And who knows? Maybe in a hundred years the ice would start to unfreeze again, and someone else would find out and have to do something about it. For the moment, I reasoned, and leaned back in the booth, we did what we set out to do. The world was safe from collapse, at least for a while, and that was good enough for me.
