A young woman with the fate of a nation in her hands. An aircraft designed by science, fueled by magic and flown with passion. A World War re-imagined like never before. Strap yourself in for a wild ride as award-winning author Charles A. Cornell takes you on his dieselpunk adventure, DragonFly; a collision of science fiction with fantasy that fast forwards steampunk into an alternative World War Two. ARC review copies available for free at DragonFly-Novels In 1942, an unlikely heroine changes the course of history. On the eve of invasion by the Nazis, twenty-two year old RAF pilot Veronica ‘Ronnie’ Somerset is determined to overcome every obstacle to become Britain’s first female combat pilot. When Ronnie is re-assigned to Enysfarne, a mysterious Royal Navy base off the coast of Cornwall, fate places her inside the cockpit of the most revolutionary aircraft ever invented... the DragonFly, a remarkable fighter-bomber that carries the hopes of Britain on its blue and silver wings. Reichsführer Bernhardt Morax, leader of the Third Reich’s Zauber Korps, prepares his Blutskriegers for the invasion of Britain... bio-mechanical warriors created by a depraved occult science whose dark secrets cross the boundaries of evil. Will the Druid wizard, Affodill - whose ancestral home of Enysfarne has been expropriated by the Royal Navy - join forces with the British, or will he make a pact with the evil Morax? Can Princess Victoria and Ronnie Somerset convince Affodill to place his magic in the service of a nation that has betrayed his Druid ancestors for centuries? ‘DragonFly – the Illustrated Edition’ is the ultimate DragonFly reading experience, packed with sixty illustrations that make the action jump off the page, including character dossiers, historical ‘retrographs’ and fantastic designs of retro-futuristic aircraft. The story of DragonFly is also available in two parts, two novellas that follow Ronnie Somersets missions as the the DragonFly Squadron is formed to defend Britain.
