iolosdreamHowdy all: It's another day here in Paradise. Well actually it looks like rain: we need it.
Yesterday I chronicled some of my trials at getting published. Eventually I will get back to that story, but today I'm going to pitch my Aero Rangers sories, the first of which is contracted to Ellipsis Press.
Aero Rangers: Semi-Historical Adventures, with monsters Book I Tunguska Terror
It's the beginning of the 20th century, the Great War has finally come to an end. With the advent of motor and air transport, most of the blank spots on the world map are being filled in. By the end of the century, the land's surface will be mapped, counted, and regulated. There will be no place left for Mystery. Mankind will be forced to look beneath the seas or on alient planets for adventure. But for a few brief decades, the Unknown struggles for its rightful place in the world.
Volume I, Tunguska Terror
The year is 1919, Ted Hamilton, a WWI pilot, recently mustered out of the US Army, receives a mysterious telegram summoning him to join his old comrades in a worthwhile cause. He accepts the invitation and a steamship ticket to England, entering the mysterious world of the Aero Rangers, adventurers who use their hard-won battle skills to deal with Things that Go Bump on the international stage. If you've got a problem that's too wide and weird for the local authorities. Who ya gonna call? League of Nations Aero Rangers (affiliated with Interpol).
Over the next twenty years, Aero Rangers' adventures take Ted from one world hot spot to the next, battling the Enemies of Mankind. My stories are placed in historical context, but at last the truth can be revealed: the Secret Masters and their allies lie ever in wait to capitalize on humanity's woes.
To date, the Aeros stories span from 1919 through 1937, taking our heros all over the globe. It's all good fun, but if my readers learn a thing or two from the tales, so much the better.
Until next time. DRW/Iolo
