Agent Augustus Elsworth is a Seeker of the Arcane Unknown, mechanic, pilot and thief... or so he believes. When he is caught trying to steal a magic artifact from the ruthless mobster Charles Patrick, he is offered a choice: buy it outright, or forget about his mission. In order to win the money, the young mechanic decides to enter the Cliffside Aeroprix, the most dangerous air race in the world. Can Augustus win the race, or even survive it?

“Maiden Flight of the Avenger is a rattling yarn, held together with steam, pistons and beauty.” — Philippa Ballantine, Author of "Geist"

"A gripping story that lays down the groundwork for the incredible universe of The Gearheart." — Tee Morris, Author of "Phoenix Rising"

As with the first installment, MFotA blew me away. I was hooked from the first strains of the opening music all the way through the thrilling conclusion. Alex writes incredible descriptions; despite the obvious challenges of describing flight from the point of view of Gus, he does an outstanding job, ...

superb novella

I'm always skeptical when it comes to three equals, and things of that sort. However I must say that Mr. White has outdone himself. The storyline, illusion to other events (other times in missions, and even future missions) and even hints at the Gearhart make this story fantastic.

@Eric: Thanks so much! That's the dream, and I appreciate your support along the way. @JenM: Cheers! I look forward to making more. @Hugh O'Donnell: I've always loved Gus's character, so it was nice to dig in and focus on him for a change. Thanks for listening!

Very cool. The Gearheart walks the tight rope between steam punk and full out fantasy, doing little back flips and daring dives all the while. Fans of either genre should enjoy this novella and the original novel, both excellently produced by Alex White and crew.

This was another great Gearheart story! I really enjoy the early 20th Century aesthetic of the world, which is pretty unique in fantasy. Gus's story highlights the mix of magic and technology to great effect.

The Gearheart plot is great, the narration is great, the music is also great. What else is there to say? Oh yea, when can we expect the next Alex White creation to arrive?

Great book Alex. The first Gearheart took a while to get into. This one however grabbed me right away. Great world, and yes publishers need to sign you up.

Thanks so much, Samantha! I think we both feel the same way: I need to be writing more stories! I can't wait to get the next release together.
