Book description
Josephine Early, New Orleans brothel owner and Union spy, has a
mission. And it might just end the Civil War. She must deliver Ganymede,
an astonishing prototype submarine, to the North. But the giant war
machine is at the bottom of a lake, no one has safely piloted it and she
must sneak its huge bulk past enemy forces. Luckily, she knows the right
man for the job. She hasn't seen former lover and air-pirate Andan Cly
for years, but has a sweet job to tempt him back. He agrees to help, but
his primary mission is to retrieve supplies for blighted Seattle, where
noxious gas has forced residents underground and undead rotters menace
the city. Although legit, the Seattle run makes Cly uncomfortable. He no
longer flies sap, disapproving of the drug's ugly side-effects, and the
job is funded with sap money. Josephine's jaunt could be a great
distraction. But will they make history, or end up at the bottom of the
ocean?
