Official synopsis Publisher
When Captain Alexandria de Sade learned the truth about the company she had been so proud to work for, she refused the promotion they offered, quit her position, and disappeared. As did Chrono-ship #25. She made it her mission to undercut the monopoly Naviwerks had on temporal retrieval of artifacts and heirlooms and put together a crew of likeminded individuals. Including one Laurence Kane.Disliked by the Horotechnology professors at university for his unconventional approach to chrono-engineering, considered unemployable by Naviwerks, and unable to maintain even the simplest of jobs, Captain Alex considered him the perfect candidate to run and maintain her chronoengine. He joins the rest of her crew: Historian – Nigel Wellington, Ship’s Doctor – Dr. Hennessey, Security – Geri Reynolds, and Pilot – Angel Flynn. Together, they set out to give Naviwerks some real competition. Their first job: Retrieve the working model of Leonardo da Vinci’s Gran Cavallo from Milan, Italy 1490.But on the maiden voyage of the ship now named The William’s Hunt, the ragtag crew of pirates will learn that what they thought was a simple case of corporate overreach is far more nefarious. They’ll have to stay one step ahead of Naviwerks, its best operative Agent Nash, and remake their goals on the fly.
