Synopsis

Terry Barclay is a directionless young man. While a talented musician, he has no prospects for a career in his isolated, country town. Fortunately, an organization called Skyfleet is recruiting, an exploratory and peacekeeping armada of flying ships. One which is manned by humans and creatures alike. After only two years of service, he will be able to join Skyfleet's Orchestra of Lights. Though before he can get there, his path will intercept the intrigue of the greater world and a group of colorful comrades. From a cantankerous dwarven scientist, to a radicalized princess turned socialist, to a friendly hive queen of giant insects, these individuals will challenge Terry’s preconceptions of the world and help him find new uses for old talents. As a fascist threat lingers in the background, Terry must learn to use his musical abilities in an unexpected way. Only with this new power and the support of his friends can he help Skyfleet build a nation of silver and dreams. Author's Note: Star Trek meets Leftist Dieselpunk/Gaslamp Fantasy.
