Tales of the Airship Neverland — John White

Grand Admiral Winifred Darling has just been promoted to command the entire defenses of The Brytish Admiralty. Her first assignment is to defend the Kingdom against the return of the disgraced exile Captain James Hooker. Allied with a fleet of she-pirates and his eldritch paramour, the witch Elspeth, Hooker is bent on the destruction of the ruling family including the infant Peter, Prince of the Air Nation. Windy will soon find that it is she, not Hook, that is on the run, aided only by her loyal crew and the mysterious inventions of one Nikola Tesla. Eighteen years later, the crew of the Airship Neverland will be tested as never before. Windy, her lover Alistair and the beautiful young genius Angela "Tinker" Belle must face a sky full of enemies as they try to return Peter P.A.N. to his rightful place. "a strong base for a series of novels here. The world-building is excellent, the plot is strong, and all the steampunky stuff is fun." --Keith R.A. DeCandido (author of Serenity and Buffy Novelizations) The Neverland is an epic trilogy that continues with "Tales of the Airship Neverland: Captain Hook & the Pirates of Mars" and the conclusion "Tales of the Airship Neverland: Dust and Ash." 2012 Steamcon IV Airship Award nominee in the written category.
