    About this ebook

    In rescuing three young women from psychotic Draggers, Tom Cain lost two crewmates, his berth on the airship Myrmidon and he very nearly lost his life, but that’s just the beginning of his problems. The four teens recover the abandoned airship Hecate, and flee in her, only to find a stranger named Ishara is stowed away.

    Orphans of the Celestial Sea is a Steampunk serial chronicling the adventures of Tom Cain and his misfit crew as they try to unravel the mysteries surrounding their airship Hecate and the plague of psychosis-inducing Mist which is slowly destroying human civilization.

    This is a free download, all I ask in return is that you come back here and give a review when you've read it.

      Orphans of the Celestial Sea, Episode 1 - Mark Fenger

      Orphans of the Celestial Sea, by Mark Fenger

      What readers are saying about Orphans of the Celestial Sea:

      " ARG! You swine! I must know what happens next! Great opening chapter. If you can sustain this pace, you have an absolute winner.

      Merchant airships? Fog? Draggers? Bell codes? Kid's Tower? Wow, so many hints: you really have a whole world ready for us to explore - can't wait." – Adam X

      "I am hooked. Too much violence in the first chapter would have turned me off, but you kept it real, which can sometimes be tricky in a Fiction book :) 

      I want to know what happens next, which I consider to be the basis of a good book, the characters and the epidemic itself intrigues me."

      Well done all round." – James Murray

      This was fantastic. I absolutely love the ideas behind it, and the use of accented dialogue was superb. A lot of people can't pull that off but you did it well. Awesome how you combine aspects of steampunk, fantasy, and zombies. C.H.

      Nice cliffhanger. I started off thinking, Okay, I'll just read the first chapter before bed, and looks like I'm going to be up later reading the next one. Katrina Forest

      Chapter 1

      The Mist shimmered and shone like hungry moonlight as it left the forest and crossed into late-afternoon sunlight. It crept up the hillside like a living thing, long tendrils reaching ahead of the seething mass, dragging it toward the town of Milton.

      Tom Cain watched, lost in fascination. He’d seen Mist before, but not like this one. Mist generally avoided sunlight and rarely had the strength to pull itself uphill so fast.

      His reverie was broken by the second bell. The code was the same in every port-of-call he’d visited, single ring for Mist
