Historias de Dieselpunk

Willington is the most advanced city in the world. A symbol of modern society, technology, order, and functionality. A strict dictatorship divides its people into so-called "levels" based on their value. Freedom is a luxury; movement is a privilege. Yet there are people known as levelbreakers who are able to move between the city's strictly divided districts without being detected by the all-seeing AI that controls the entire city. Amber is one of them-a woman who has been an exceptional hacker since childhood. Living on the fringes of society, she struggles with loneliness in this cruel world. She tries to survive even though she has no reason to, and as one of the levelbreakers she stands against the entire city. On the opposite side of the system is Cassian-a corporate slave who spends most of his time locked in a cubicle, doing dirty work and operating on the edge of the law in order to protect a worldwide corporation that holds half the city in its grip. His career is his only hope. But when their paths cross, the foundations of the city of Willington begin to shake, and they become enemies of the dictatorial council. Both of them will have to fight their way through a web of dangerous technology and the roar of jazz to reach the freedom that may be waiting beyond the city's borders.

In February of 1959, nine hikers from the Ural Polytechnic Institute went out into the wilderness of the Ural Mountains. None of them would come out alive. Despite the best efforts of investigators, nobody could figure out just what happened to them: they concluded that a "compelling, natural force" had driven the hikers to their death. Needless to say, that didn't even come close to satisfying the public. The year is now 1964, and another mountaineer from the Ural Polytechnic Institute is turning heads. Nika Orlova is a prodigy in mountaineering, scaling mountains that most can't. Many people are fascinated by her, including investigators and family members who can't let the investigation into the Dyatlov hikers go unsolved. After more strange things are reported around the mountain where the hikers died and a chance meeting with the close friend of the hikers, Nika has decided that the time has come for her to investigate what happened to the hikers five years previously. She and others affected by the case head out for the Siberian wilderness to find out once and for all what killed the Dyatlov hikers. However, from the moment they get out there, it becomes apparent that there are unnatural forces at play in the mountains. And the longer they're out there, Nika can't help but wonder: are they about to face the same fate?

The Company mining town of Thurber, Texas has fallen off the map. Some want to keep it that way. Others seek the truth. But its plague-infected residents have a mind of their own. "Forget emergency landing procedures. When reading Twitch and Die! all one can do is hold on for dear life." "Disguised as double-fisted pulp fiction, the Lost DMB Files resurrect a forgotten history. The life's work of author David Mark Brown, mysteriously disappeared in the 1930's, has only recently taken on new life surrounding the controversy that these "Lost" files are more than mere fiction. Let the reader decide for her or himself." ~ Professor Jim Buckner, Dept. Geology University of Texicas, Austin Two populist Texan folk-heros, Chancho Villarreal and James Starr, embark on a mission of political endorsement, but what they find is a hill country rife with fear and rumor. A so-called Angel of Death is executing individuals infected by a terrible plague, and the company mining town at the epicenter has gone dark. It's up to Chancho to navigate a world of shifting allegiances while uncovering the truth about a plague and its infected who refuse to die quietly.

The year is 1937. The United States has shattered under the weight of the Great Depression, regional Prohibition and mounting isolationism.

Giant zeppelins crisscross the skies, carrying both passengers and cargo. It is a time of gunship diplomacy and airship piracy. It is the age of the fighter pilot and a time of daredevil adventure and sinister intrigue. It is the world of Crimson Skies...

This is the beginning of the book I am writing, first in a trilogy. I will not give out the working name of book or saga, until I am well into writing. The first part, that is called "The First Flight" is the story that I wrote while on the plane. Took about two hours then. Then I made the skeleton for the book to come from it. It quickly rose to a trilogy-worth material. I started work on this and as I see fit, I will add parts here.
