Romulus Buckle & The City Of The Founders (The Chronicles Of The Pneumatic Zeppelin, Book One) - Plot & Excerpts
His right hand swung his safety line while his boots fought for toeholds against the superstructure girders beneath the rippling fabric. He felt no physical discomfort. But he cursed the pain in his heart. Ivan had been helpless, no more than a howling spectator, when the tanglers knocked Kellie, Max, and Buckle over the side. In an instant they were gone, and then he was left alone, halfway out of the hole in the roof, alone in an ocean of blue-green guts under a gray sky, with the chopped end of Buckle’s safety line limp in his hands. His eyes foggy with shock, Ivan had focused on the last safety line as it creaked back and forth at the edge of the breach in front of him. It took a few moments for him to realize that it was taut with weight. The dog. I’m not losing anybody else today, even if it is just the damned dog, Ivan thought. He grabbed the line and hauled the light animal back up. Kellie’s wind-blasted head popped up over the side, ears flapping on top of her helmet, and once Ivan got her up on the roof, she belly-crawled her way back to him.
